SUMMARY:Practical Approaches to Managing Amur Honeysuckle
DESCRIPTION:Amur 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. \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. \nDrawing from recent studies evaluating seasonal basal bark herbicide treatments\, prescribed fire\, and soil responses to herbicide applications\, this presentation will provide an overview of research objectives\, methods\, and results while highlighting how these findings can inform efficient\, targeted control strategies that align with broader land management responsibilities. \nLearn more and register: https://naisma.org/event/webinar-practical-approaches-to-managing-amur-honeysuckle/
