From the CT Invasive Species Working Group:
"The Connecticut Invasive Plant Working Group (CIPWG) will
be holding its biennial Invasive Plant Symposium on Thursday, October 25, 2012
in Storrs, on the campus of the University of Connecticut. As a part of
that symposium, CIPWG will be hosting a poster display area.
The theme of this year’s symposium is Getting Real
About Invasive Plants: Prioritize, Strategize, Mobilize. Posters may
be developed around research projects, examples of invasive plant field
projects, successful programs relating to invasive plants, or other initiatives
that will be instructive to those in attendance at the symposium. Typical
attendance at CIPWG symposia has been in the vicinity of 400 people. The
audience tends to be highly diverse, and includes everyone from practicing
landscape professionals to enthusiastic invasive plant volunteers to university
researchers, students and professors. The symposium is an important
learning crossroads where ideas and information are exchanged among a broad
group of people.
They are particularly interested in encouraging the
participation of students at the high school, college and graduate school
level."
