Tennessee Weed Wrangles March 7, 2020
Be on the lookout for a Weed Wrangle event near you March 7. State Parks, local municipal parks, nature sanctuaries, and many other entities are looking for volunteers to rid their grounds of unwanted invasive plants. Check back for more information on locations around the state.
TN-IPC in Tennessee
We updated our name, logo, Web site, and plant list, but our mission remains the same: to promote public awareness of the serious threats non-native invasive plants pose to natural areas and provide solutions to manage those threats. TN-IPC is a chapter member of the Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council and the national organization, National Association of Invasive Plant Councils.
