    I am looking for the best way to increase my knowledge about invasive weeds. On-line class? Feild class, Mass Audobon Society?? I started renting Goats in Central Mass and I need to have a knowledge base to Identify poison plants for the goats. Along with knowledge of non-native invasive Plants. Thank You, Tammy Hebert Central Mass Goat Rental

    Answer

    Dear Tammy, good morning. The New England Wild Flower Society does offer classes in many topics, including some on non-native plants from time to time. If you view the schedule of programs (http://www.newenglandwild.org/learn/our-programs), you can find lots of classes where plants are discussed in the field and in the classroom, and discussions of native vs. non-native species are frequent topics in classes. Good luck.
