Should they stay or should they go?
“Much of our ranch efforts involve management of plants and animals, but it can be difficult to decide which battles to pick,” said Morgan Treadwell, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension range specialist, San Angelo. Treadwell is a series co-creator, along with Brittany Chesser, AgriLife Extension aquatic vegetation program specialist, Bryan-College Station.
Dianne Robinson, research associate with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, is the featured speaker for July. She is the manager of the Ecology and Natural Resource Teaching Area, Bryan-College Station, and is transitioning into a policy role with the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute.
Robinson will highlight a few of the many plant and animal species on Texas ranchlands during the webinar and discuss which species are invasive and which are aggressive natives. She will also cover some of the misunderstood native species that might deserve a bit more appreciation.
