6th Annual Kentucky Invasive Plant Conference 2026

Join us for a day of learning about invasive plants and networking with other professionals! This conference will feature a morning of talks by a range of speakers covering the latest in invasive plant identification, management, and research, with a focus on active management practices and on-the-ground examples. Over lunch, attendees can browse a poster session highlighting new research findings from across the region. In the afternoon, participants will be able to choose from several field opportunities designed to put classroom knowledge into practice at locations like the Boone County Arboretum and Boone County Conservation District. The event brings researchers, land managers, students, and natural resource professionals together to tackle the plants crowding out the Commonwealth's native species.
