Invasive Buffelgrass Eradication Roundtable

Mission Garden learns more about an invasive plant in southern Arizona: buffelgrass. Where did it come from? How'd it get here? Why is it so invasive? What problems does it cause? How do you get rid of it?

Buffelgrass experts John Scheuring (Conservation Committee Chairman with The Arizona Native Plant Society, www.aznps.com) and David Walker (buffelgrass activist and local adobe builder) discuss what they are doing. These are on-the-ground experts who have been battling buffelgrass on the front lines for years. Learn how you can play a role in ridding our region of buffelgrass by patrolling your area, recognizing buffelgrass, eliminating it-- and even making use of it! Vianey Avila, Invasive Species Specialist at Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, also consulted on the management plant at Mission Garden. (https://www.desertmuseum.org/buffelgr...)
