Organic Growers to Benefit from Innovative Partnership
|
Everyone talks about innovative ways for public-private partnerships to work together to grow local food economies.
In Jefferson County, WSU Extension has a new faculty member specializing in organic seed and plant breeding and outreach. So does the Organic Seed Alliance, a national nonprofit research organization also based in Jefferson County, with offices in Maine and Colorado. The innovation is that it’s the same person. WSU and OSA have come together to fund a joint faculty position that brings organic seed expertise to networks of growers locally and nationally. John Navazio, a nationally recognized expert in organic seed production, serves the joint mission of the two organizations by working directly with growers, providing sustainable agriculture research and education. |

NOXIOUS WEEDS!!! YIPES!!!! Himalayan Blackberry and Evergreen Blackberry

Himalayan blackberry and evergreen blackberry are Class C noxious weeds on the Washington State Noxious Weed List. They are widespread throughout King County and the rest of Western Washington and control is not required. However, control is recommended in protected wilderness areas and in natural lands that are being restored to native vegetation because of the invasiveness of these species.
