SUMMARY:Gene silencing technologies for invasive Phragmites control
DESCRIPTION:Gene silencing represents a family of biotechnologies based on the interruption or suppression of gene expression at transcriptional or translational levels. As an environmentally benign and species-specific solution\, gene silencing technologies (GSTs) have a great potential of being applied to the control of invasive species such as Phragmites. This presentation will discuss recent progress made in GST development for pest species in general and summarize the R&D work carried out on Phragmites in particular by a consortium of government and academic labs. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Clean Boats Clean Waters Training
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder how to become a boat launch aquatic invasive species protector or wonder about DCIST’s aquatic invasive species prevention efforts? Here’s your chance to attend a Clean Boats CleanWater training. This Clean Boats\, Clean Waters training is for those who have never participated in a Clean Boats\, Clean Waters\, watercraft inspection\, and for those who would like a reminder and some practice before heading out to the landings this summer. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Clean Boats Clean Waters Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Want to help spread the word about invasive species? Clean Boats Clean Waters volunteers visit popular boat launches to teach boaters how to prevent the spread of invasive species by cleaning and draining boats and gear. This virtual training will get you ready to start volunteering at your favorite boat launch\, on your own schedule. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Invasive Plant Introduction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informative workshop to learn skills to identify the most common invasive plants and noxious weeds\, including those which pose a risk to your health and safety. \nCreated with input from experts with years of experience working in the field identifying plants\, this 2.5 hour webinar will discuss plants that pose the greatest risk to human and animal health\, and threaten our ecosystems and biodiversity. It will include a basic introduction to plant anatomy and how to apply these skills to identify invasive plants\, as well as noxious weed that you may encounter while you work in the field this spring and summer. \nThis workshop will be delivered via our interactive virtual learning platform and will include opportunities to chat and network with others in the program. \nInfo here.
