## Resource

Connecticut’s battling a major invasive plant crisis—with over 100 species choking out native ecosystems. UConn Extension’s new online certificate program, launched in early 2026, equips residents with science-backed tools to identify, manage, and restore native habitats. Self-paced with seven video-rich modules and a live virtual class, it’s already drawing 180 eager learners from across the state, turning everyday citizens into frontline defenders of the state’s natural balance.
