Invasive Species

The speaker for our October 16 Oklahoma City Audubon meeting will be Aaron Edwards with a presentation on Invasive Species.

Aaron graduated from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma with a BS in Biology in 1999. In 2007 I came on board with the USDA and currently work as a Plant Health Safeguarding Specialist where I conduct surveys for invasive plant pests and diseases. He is married and has one kid. In his free time Aaron enjoy gardening, reading and traveling. Most of his work is in Oklahoma, but he has helped out in several other states responding to agricultural pests. The presentation title will be Invasive Species, and he’ll cover the various groups of invasive species, pathways for introduction and spread, detection, control/eradication.

Our meetings are held September through June on the third Monday of each month with the exception of January. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. Visitors are always welcome.

Meeting Location:

Our meetings are held at the Will Rogers Garden center, located at the intersection of NW 36th Street and I-44. The Oklahoma City Audubon Society is neither a chapter of, nor affiliated with, the National Audubon Society.
