Prevention Training Videos

Prevent the spread of invasive plants by washing vehicles.

In 2012 the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, California Department of Food and Agriculture, UC Cooperative Extension, and the California Invasive Plant Council sponsored Preventing the Introduction and Spread of Invasive Weeds Workshops throughout California. Funding was provided by the U.S. Forest Service and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The May 2, 2012 workshop in Truckee was videoed and is available to view here.

Instructions for viewing these videos: You may notice five icons on the upper right of the screen. The first icon, the four inward arrows turns the screen into full screen, the second icon turns it into a picture in a picture, the third icon makes it into a side by side picture, the next icon makes it a single picture – it can be the slide or the presenter, the last icon swaps the slide and the presenter. To get back to the side by side picture mode, hit the third icon down and you’ll get back to the side by side picture. You will also need to hit the swap button to make the slide bigger and the presenter smaller, or visa versa, but that’s up to you.
