SDG 6 Misunderstandings & Awareness Among Gardeners Liz Tanner & Jeanne Scherer

What are the alternatives to invasive plants? Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this episode: What crucial role do gardeners play in managing invasive species? Helping gardeners understand and adopt alternatives to invasive plants. Why must we work together to raise awareness and tackle the issue of invasive species? Hear from Liz Tanner from ⁠Extension Lakes⁠ and Jeannie Shearer from ⁠Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources⁠ . Liz and Jeannie discuss their research on invasive species and the role of gardeners in managing them. Through webinars and surveys with over 800 attendees, including Master Gardeners, they found that gardeners often misunderstand invasive species but are eager to learn about alternatives. The discussion highlights the significant role gardeners play in introducing and managing invasive species, as many invasive plants were initially introduced through gardening. They emphasize the importance of education, outreach, and collaboration between organizations to raise awareness and promote better practices. Click play now to soak up what they have to share!
