Why use insects to control weeds? 🪲 Why not just spray herbicides?

Discover how tiny insects can make a big impact in the fight against invasive weeds at this FREE Biological W**d Control Workshop with Todd Breitenfeldt of the Montana Biocontrol Coordination Project.

📅 Wednesday, July 29th
🕕 6:00–7:30 PM
📍 Kingfisher Pavilion, Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve. Free to attend.

Learn how carefully selected biocontrol insects help manage noxious weeds across Gallatin County, then head into the field to:

🌿 Collect data on spotted knapweed at our weevil release site.
🪲 Search the wetland for established biocontrol insects.
🌱 Discover how biological control fits alongside hand-pulling, mowing, and other sustainable land management practices.

Todd Breitenfeldt is a longtime science educator and co-author/editor of Montana's Field Guide for the Biological Control of W**ds in Montana, developed with leading biocontrol scientists and program leaders.

Since 2022, Todd has worked with our Busy Beaver volunteers and community members to release specialist weevils at the Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve to help control spotted knapweed—supporting our commitment to reducing invasive weeds while minimizing herbicide use.

Todd will also have FREE copies of their Montana Biocontrol Field Guides for attendees.

This workshop is free and open to all.
Meet at the Kingfisher Pavilion.

What kinds of insects 🔎🪲 and amphibians 🐸 can be found in our wetlands?

This workshop with Hannah Cantú from American Prairie focuses on key wetland amphibians and insects, exploring their habitat requirements, behaviors, and ecological roles within wetland ecosystems. Participants will learn how these species depend on wetland environments for breeding, feeding, and survival, as well as the adaptations that allow them to thrive in aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats. We will provide hands-on opportunities for wildlife observation and identification, helping participants build skills in recognizing and understanding the diversity of wetland invertebrates and amphibians.
