Residents of Claiborne Parish will have an opportunity to learn more about weed management during an upcoming educational program hosted by the LSU AgCenter.

The program, titled “Weeds and Weed Control,” will be held on March 30, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Claiborne Parish Library in Homer. The event will feature John Monzingo of the LSU AgCenter as the guest speaker.

The meeting is open to the public, and no pre-registration is required. Organizers say the session will focus on identifying common weeds and discussing practical methods of weed control for gardens, lawns, and landscapes.

Program organizers noted that the LSU AgCenter and Louisiana State University provide equal opportunities in both programs and employment. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, reasonable accommodations will be made to ensure individuals with disabilities can participate in AgCenter programs.

Anyone needing accommodations is asked to contact Monzingo at 318-371-1371 or the Claiborne Parish Extension Office at 318-927-3110 at least two weeks prior to the event.

Officials encourage residents, gardeners, and landowners interested in improving weed management practices to attend the informational session.
