Confronting the Cogongrass Crisis across the South
Cogongrass is a growing threat as it continues its rapid spread across the Southeast, reducing forest and pasture productivity, destroying wildlife habitat, impacting rights-of-way, and presenting an extreme fire hazard.
“Confronting the Cogongrass Crisis across the South” was held November 7 and 8, 2007, in Mobile, Alabama. The conference conveyed the latest understanding in restoring lands, managing, controlling, and eradicating cogongrass, and explored existing and needed networks for coordinating strategies for successful cogongrass management.
The conference was sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service, Alabama Cooperative Extension System, Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, and Southeast Exotic Pest Council. The conference proceedings are available here.
