As Seen on the Rare Plant Academy: Native Plants vs. Weeds
CPC’s Applied Plant Conservation Course (APCC) harnesses and presents the knowledge and expertise of those working to safeguard North America’s most imperiled species. This critical work involves developing protocols that restore healthy, diverse populations to nature — and sharing this information with budding plant scientists and professionals.
In Module 1 of the APCC, get started by learning about the dynamics between native plants versus weeds and invasive species, and why native plants are critical to overall ecosystem health in a lesson developed by Dr. Tom Kaye of the Institute for Applied Ecology. We invite you to learn more about the science of rare plant conservation and what is being done to secure native flora for future generations.
This professional development resource is free and open to all skill levels.
