Invasive Plants with Isabelle Jones

Discover the fascinating—and often surprising—world of invasive plants in the desert Southwest! Join Isabelle Jones and the Grand County Noxious Weeds Department as we explore the history of invasive species, how they made their way to our region, and why they pose a challenge to our landscapes. From neighborhood gardens to public lands and national parks, learn about the ecological impacts of invasive plants and the tools land managers use to protect the unique ecosystems of the Southwest. Whether you're a gardener, outdoor enthusiast, or simply curious about the natural world, this program offers valuable insights into one of the region's most pressing environmental issues.
