SUMMARY:Practical Approaches to Managing Amur Honeysuckle
DESCRIPTION:Flowers and buds in the leafage of Lonicera maackii in mid May\n\n\n\nAmur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) is an invasive shrub native to eastern Asia that was widely planted for ornamental use and wildlife habitat. It is now established across much of the eastern and midwestern United States\, where it forms dense understory thickets that outcompete native plants\, reduce plant diversity\, and alter forest structure and ecosystem processes. \n\n\n\nJoin Kaleb Baker of the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission for a practitioner focused webinar that translates recent research into practical\, on the ground management guidance for landowners and land managers. This session will cover how to identify Amur honeysuckle\, summarize its ecological impacts\, and explore management options and challenges faced in the field.
