- **Event Name**: Invasive Plant Workshop, including walk-around session at Apopka Birding Park
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Orange Audubon Society is working to create  a nature center and habitat restoration at the Apopka Birding Park, which is the old nursery site to the right of the entrance to the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. 

We have a lot of invasive plants to control before successful re-seeding with native grasses and wildflowers. 

Do you know how to identify Praxelis, Sida, Primrose willow, Asparagus fern, Syngonium, Balsam apple, Lantana, Hairy indigo, Chinaberry, Paper mulberry and Castor bean? And our worst problems: cogon grass and natal grass? Can you distinguish Bermuda, Guinea grass and Bahia?

If you want to learn more, join Orange Audubon and the Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) for this Friday morning workshop, February 13th. 

The first hour will be indoors at the University of Florida Mid Florida Research and Education Center (MREC) across from Magnolia Park. 

Then we will drive 2 miles up the road to the Apopka Birding Park, which is at the entrance to the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. There we will do a walk around identification session until about noon. 

Our instructors are Dana Sussmann, Florida Forest Service, and Ron Chicone, Natural Resources Program Coordinator for Seminole County. Both are active in the local Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) group.

The workshop is free but our classroom has limited space so we will ask that you register. 

If you have any questions in advance, email Deborah at info@orangeaudubonfl.org or call 407-637-2525.
