Jacob Botkins, Adam Gerughty and Russell Williams, graduate students in the KSU Masters of Environmental Studies program, and Dr. John Sedlacek, principal investigator for entomology in the Land Grant Program and instructor for the MES Student Team Project course, recently attended the Joint Meeting of the Second Kentucky Invasive Species Conference and the 13th Annual Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council Conference in Lexington, Ky.
The group presented two posters entitled “Citizen Awareness of the Impact of Invasive Plant Species in Kentucky” and “Winter Management of an Invasive Species, Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) in Wooded Habitat.” The research presented in the posters was the culmination of a two semester student team project for the MES course and was conducted in conjunction with the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission.
