Invasive species are plants and animals that are in an area where they are not native, often meaning they have no natural predators. 

Terri Miller-Casey, Director of the University of Illinois Extension for Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties, explains that they are hosting two separate programs on invasive species. On April 29th, it will be a free webinar geared towards home gardeners and invasive plants. 

Miller-Casey notes that if you can't get enough of learning about invasive species in Illinois after the free webinar, there will be an all-day symposium on May 28th hosted at the Champaign County Extension office. 

The Extension doesn't just offer programs for you to sit and watch. Miller-Casey states that they have experts at your disposal for any questions or advice you may need about all things agriculture.
