Description

In 40 years of landscape interactions Larry has encountered numerous weed species in a plethora of vegetative compositions. In this presentation he will share some of his experiences through a series of detailed case studies that illustrate both chemical and organic protocols for controlling invasive species. He will also discuss how piggybacking weed control efforts onto natural ecological processes can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for chemical herbicides. Landscapes displayed will range in scale from estate to suburban, and will show how weed control efforts played out over long periods of time, some well over 20 years.
