"It's our job to try to find out-of-the-box ways to reduce pressure on farmland," said Ohio Farm Bureau Director of State Policy Evan Callicoat. "Brownfield remediation is one of them. It doesn't scream agriculture, but it's significant, trying to locate large industrial projects where all the utilities and infrastructure are already there instead of on farmland."

Join the Ohio Woodland Stewards Program and the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District for our Invasive Plant ID and Control class on June 23, 2026 from 5:00PM to 9:00PM at The Ohio State University at Mansfield, Molyet Village Community Center.

Whether you manage a few acres of woods or a larger property, non-native, invasive plants often move in and set up shop, outcompeting native plants, reducing wildlife habitat, and impacting the health and resiliency of your forest.

The program will begin with dinner and a presentation covering invasive species ecology, followed by hands-on identification using live plant samples. We’ll conclude with a guided walk through campus to identify invasive species in the field, discuss management and control strategies, and demonstrate effective treatment methods. This class involves walking on uneven ground. Please dress appropriately.

For more details on this hands-on evening class visit and register before June 18 at https://woodlandstewards.osu.edu/events/invasive-plant-id-and-control.
