The course will explore the science of native and non-native plants in the environment, identify challenges for native plants, provide management techniques, explore the impacts of climate change on native plants, and demonstrate how to control invasive plants and how to create a robust pollinator landscape.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify invasive plant species and explain how ecosystems react to the introduction of new species and how it impacts biodiversity.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to avoid landscape management practices that hurt native plants, such as poor soil management, poor planting practices, and fertilizer and pesticide overuse.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to analyze the impacts of climate change on native plant distribution, as well as identify and remove common invasive species while protecting the soil ecosystem.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to explain how the soil environment and site conditions of a landscape can be prepared and managed to create a robust pollinator landscape.
