An invasive species workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 6 at the UF/IFAS Santa Rosa County Extension Office located at 6263 Dogwood Drive in Milton.

The workshop will focus on the more common and troublesome invasive species in Northwest Florida uplands, wetlands and marine areas. Safety and control methods for the species will be highlighted along with field demonstrations.
