Northern B.C. Ecosystem Restoration Community of Practice Webinar: Managing Invasive Reed Canarygrass – Catherine Tarasoff, Agrowest
Part of the Northern BC CoP: Lunch ‘n’ Learn Webinar Series
Format: 45-minute talk followed by 15-minute Q&A
Join Catherine Tarasoff from Agrowest Consulting Scientists for a talk about cutting edge management tactics for reed canarygrass. Reed canarygrass is one of our most widely distributed and aggressive riparian invasive species. Catherine will highlight her research using UAVs (drones) for mapping and benthic barriers for control of reed canarygrass.
Catherine will share results from current work using benthic barriers to control the invasive plant reed canarygrass. She has had phenomenal success with spontaneous native plant regeneration following the removal of reed canarygrass. As well, Catherine is underway with a challenging project using UAVs to map reed canarygrass along riparian corridors. She has excellent preliminary results to share with the group; and, some practical application tidbits for those considering using UAVs for mapping.
