Georgia’s landscapes are constantly evolving, but not always in a good way. New invasive species are slipping into local ecosystems, disrupting native habitats and throwing natural balances out of sync. In this webinar, Lisa Klein with UGA Extension Gwinnett will teach you about the latest invaders, how they’re affecting gardens, farms, and wild spaces, and most importantly, what we can do about them. From fast-spreading weeds to aggressive insect pests, we’ll break down real-world impacts and practical steps to spot, report, and manage these species before they take over. Whether you’re a gardener, nature enthusiast, or simply someone who cares about Georgia’s environment, this session will equip you with the knowledge to help protect local ecosystems.

Registration is limited
