Identification and Management of Invasive Vine Species (Web-based)
Vines are woody or herbaceous plants with relatively long stems. Vines are typically known for their twining or climbing nature. In the US, we have several non-native species of vines that have become problematic and are now considered invasive species. These invasive vines can cause problems such as outcompeting native plant communities, growing into dense thickets, girdling trees, and being extremely difficult to remove. But what are some examples of invasive vines that we find here in the US? What kind of problems do each species cause, and how can they be managed? In this webinar, Chris Evans will discuss the biology, impact, and management of some commonly found invasive vines.
