Title: Poison Hemlock & Wild Parsnips

Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Description: One of these weeds can kill you; an Ohio homeowner spent over 100 days in the hospital.  The other can make you wish you were dead; a homeowner in Cincinnati required skin grafts.  Both are spreading across Ohio.  Attendees will learn how to identify these weeds and what they can do to people; exactly why they are so potentially dangerous to your workers and the public.  Successful management strategies including effective herbicides will be presented as well as why some tactics work while others can make the problem worse.
