Workshop topics include an introduction to the invasive species problem, field preparation and safety, invasive plants, animals and pests, data collection and GPS/mobile app use. We will also cover a new feature on Texasinvasives.org, the "Eradicator Calculator," which is designed to help organize and record volunteer-based eradication efforts.
