Speakers Dr. Kim Patten (WSU Long Beach) and Jeff Nesbitt (Pacific County Noxious Weed Board) gave an informative presentation about local noxious weed threats and what people can do to combat them. The Pacific County Noxious Weed Control Board provided a great selection of useful educational materials, all of which are still available by request.
