There is no off-season where cogongrass is concerned.

This webinar will cover how to identify cogongrass in dormant season, discuss hazards and considerations to take when prescribed burning in areas where cogongrass is present, and hear an update on the history and current status of its spread in Georgia.  We'll also cover resources that are available to assist landowners with detection and treatment.
