Topics in 2016 will cover insect invaders of forests, boxwood blight, and jumping worms. Learn more about your role as a first detector and what's new with the Illinois Exotic Weed Act. These in-depth training sessions will cover: identification/detection,
life cycle/biology, sampling, management, and commonly confused look-a-likes. Participants can take part in hands-on activities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
