If you are a Master Gardener volunteer in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada or Arizona, please plan to join an upcoming free online training for best practices in answering questions about invasive plants.
This workshop session will cover:
- Invasive plant ecology basics
- Tips to answer public help desk inquiries about invasive plants
- Useful online resources
- Elements of a standard response
- A hands-on portion to put it all together!
Wed, Feb 11, 2026 from 9-11 am PST (NV, AZ, SoCal)
Wed, Feb 18, 2026 from 4-6 pm PST (WA, OR, NorCal)
Attend either or both sessions regardless of what state you’re in. Some information will be regionally specific, but most will be broadly relevant.
Eligible for 2 hrs of continuing education credits: please speak to your Master Gardener Coordinator if you would like CE credits.

I will not be able to attend the WA, OR, NorCal training. Will it be recorded for viewing after the Feb 18th date. It sounds interesting and I would like to know more about invasive plants.
Thanks!
I will not be available on the date scheduled, as I will be overseas. Could you please record and send me the link to access this presentation. Regards Mike Hendricks
Please Record as I won’t be around to view headed overseas . Thanks Mike
Hi Ann. You can take either of the trainings. I don’t believe these will be recorded but you can reach out to Constance Taylor at ctaylor@cal-ipc.org with questions.
