Nebraska’s invasive species professionals will come together to teach you about Nebraska’s invasive species threats. You’ll learn about what species threaten Nebraska\, what their impacts are\, how to identify them\, and how to prevent their spread. This event includes workshops and activities designed for all ages and skill sets. \n  \nActivities include: \n10:30-11:45 a.m. – Aquatic plant identification and sampling workshop \nLearn how to identify some of Nebraska’s native and priority invasive plant species.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Invasive Species Awareness Week Webinar Series – Weeds\, Weeds\, Weeds: Nebraska’s Invasive Aquatic Plants
DESCRIPTION:Join the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and Nebraska Invasive Species Council in celebrating the first annual Nebraska Invasive Species Awareness Week! Each day from 5/27-5/30\, an invasive species professional will present about invasive species issues in Nebraska. Join live or watch the recorded presentation on the Nebraska Game and Parks YouTube channel after the presentation. \nDate: Friday\, May 30th \nTime: 1:00-2:00PM CT \nWhere: Click on the following Zoom link to join: \nhttps://outdoornebraska.zoom.us/j/94441007280 \nPresentation Title: Weeds\, Weeds\, Weeds: Nebraska’s Invasive Aquatic Plants \nIt’s a tale as old as time. You get to your favorite fishing hole\, throw a line out\, and are immediately caught in the “weeds” as you try and reel in. When thinking of aquatic invasive species thoughts often arise of critters such as jumping carp\, zebra mussels\, or crawling crayfish. However\, the most widespread AIS issue in Nebraska is not these species but actually invasive aquatic plants. Come listen to Kristopher Stahr\, NGPC AIS Program Manager (often called the weed doctor)\, describe the impact these species are having in Nebraska and the efforts being undertaken to control these pesky plants in our waters. \nPresenter: Kristopher Stahr\, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission \nKristopher is the NGPC’S AIS Manager since the program was created in 2020. He first began working with aquatic invasive species as a temporary in Iowa in 2009. Since then\, he has worked with AIS and aquatic vegetation in multiple other states such as South Dakota\, Oklahoma\, and Arizona. \nChanges to this event can be found on the Outdoor Calendar at calendar.outdoornebraska.gov.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Invasive Species Awareness Week Webinar Series – Invasive Plants Are Bad\, Weedy Plants Are Just Misunderstood
DESCRIPTION:Join the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and Nebraska Invasive Species Council in celebrating the first annual Nebraska Invasive Species Awareness Week! Each day from 5/27-5/30\, an invasive species professional will present about invasive species issues in Nebraska. Join live or watch the recorded presentation on the Nebraska Game and Parks YouTube channel after the presentation. \nDate: Tuesday\, May 27th \nTime: 1:00-2:00PM CT \nWhere: Click on the following Zoom link to join: https://outdoornebraska.zoom.us/j/95877980351 \nPresentation Title: Invasive Plants Are Bad\, Weedy Plants Are Just Misunderstood \nNebraska has plenty of truly invasive plants that can harm ecosystems and agricultural production. We absolutely need to suppress their growth and spread and limit the damage they cause. However\, Nebraska also has a lot of other plants that we call ‘weeds’ or ‘weedy’ that really aren’t harmful at all. Many of them are just opportunists who can appear quicky and in big numbers when nearby plant competition is reduced by grazing\, flooding\, fire\, or other forces. Those opportunists provide great pollinator and wildlife value or\, at worst\, just come and go without really causing any lasting damage to anyone or anything. Let’s talk about how to tell the difference and why it matters. \nPresenter: Chris Helzer\, The Nature Conservancy \nChris Helzer is the Nebraska Director of Science and Stewardship for The Nature Conservancy. He conducts research on grasslands\, helps develop and test land management strategies\, supervises the stewardship of the Conservancy’s staffed preserves in Nebraska\, and spends lot of time blathering on about how beautiful and valuable prairies are. Chris started his career as a land manager for the Conservancy 28 years ago and still regrets giving up that job. \nChanges to this event can be found on the Outdoor Calendar at calendar.outdoornebraska.gov.
