A panel discussion featuring Consulting Forester and Certified Pesticide Applicator Mike Blasko, plus four Southern Tier Chapter members who have had considerable experience with controlling invasive and interfering vegetation on their own properties.

In our recent survey, several SOT Chapter members expressed their interest in a program on this subject. Mike Blasko has provided consulting services on numerous stewardship projects involving unwanted vegetation control, some with cost-sharing under the NRCS EQIP program. Jerry Michael and Steve Kutney have decades of experience with chemical control of invasive vegetation in their woodlots, while Darryl Wood and John Knapp have enjoyed success with non-chemical means of control. Each panel member will take a few minutes to describe their experiences, and there will be time for questions and additional sharing from other attendees.

March 29, 2025, 1:30 – 3:30, in the auditorium at Cornell Cooperative Extension, 840 Upper Front Street, Binghamton, N.Y. This meeting is free and open to the public.
