Satellite: City of Austin Invaders Location: Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center 4801 La Crosse Ave Austin, TX 78739 (Austin, TX) Trainers: Wildflower Center and City of Austin Staff Time: 8:30am - 4:30pm Notes: The City of Austin and the Invaders of Texas Program have partnered to train local volunteers on invasive plant species identification and monitoring. Volunteers will work with city staff to develop a base map of where invasive plant species are located on City lands, and that information will be used to prioritize sites for treatment or removal of invasive plant species. This is the third of four workshops to be held during the spring and summer of 2013. The goal is to train 180 “citizen scientists” who are willing to volunteer time during the summer monitoring season.
