Programs for Invasive Weed Management

Annual Invasive Weed Workshop

Since 2003, the Kenai Peninsula CWMA has had an Annual Invasive Weed Workshop.  We annually bring invasive plant scientists and managers to discuss innovative control techniques and research finding, lead invasive plant identification workshops, and discuss projects on invasive plant management across the Kenai Peninsula.  These events are generally at the end of April and are free to the public.

The 2011 Annual Invasive Weed Workshop will be April 27th 2011 at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Bldg. on K-Beach Rd. in Soldotna from NOON - 5:30 PM.  We have a great line up of speakers and information, click here for agenda and flyers, Hope to SEE YOU THERE!

Invasive Plant Citizen-Science Monitoring Program

The Kenai Peninsula CWMA recognizes the importance and need of involving the community in fighting the spread of invasive weeds.  GPS devices, invasive plant guides, weed pull equipment and much more are available for use to aid in the identification of invasive weeds and their management.  Contact information:  Homer Soil and Water Conservation District - (907)235-8177 ext. 5

Invasive Plant Cost-Share Program for Private Land Owners

The Kenai Peninsula CWMA recognizes the hardships involved with managing invasive weeds on private lands.  The CWMA has a cost-share program to subsidize private landowners for managing non-native, invasive weeds with non-chemical techniques.  The major objective of this program is to conserve critical habitat from aggressive invasive weeds.  For more inforamtion on the program's targeted invasives and habitats, contact Homer Soil and Water Conservation District - (907)235-8177 ext. 5
