In this episode Penni Adams, Manager of the Northwest Invasive Plant Council, gives us a quick lesson on invasive plants – which ones are common and which are on the critical list for eradicating. Penni also shares about the work of the NWIPC, and the services, education and outreach they provide. And important for landowners to know about is the Landowner Rebate to help deal with invasive plants.

Have you wondered or been curious about leasing your land to someone else to work? If so, you have to listen to the second half of this podcast, where Darcy Smith of Young Agrarians, provides a great overview of leasing land – including benefits, things to consider, how to go about starting the conversation and process, and more! 

Both our guests were a wealth of information. Here are some additional links and resources:
