Join us in the field for a practical look at weed management!
At Farming Forward’s Story of the Weeds breakfast plot tour, you’ll hear from Natalie LaForest, Organic Alberta’s Weed Specialist, on how environmental factors and interactions influence weed growth and persistence.
An interactive weed identification workshop will give you hands-on experience spotting key problem species in the field.
You’ll also get insights from Farming Forward’s 2025 weed suppression trial and an update on our thistle rust fungus project. We are working to feature a live demonstration of high-temperature foam weed control, a unique tool for managing vegetation without herbicides.
Free breakfast included, please register so we can have enough food! Come for the coffee and conversation, leave with real-world tools you can use.
