      The Symposium is the ideal place to learn the latest in invasive
      plant biology, management, and policy issues from researchers and
      practitioners working around the state. Invited speakers, contributed
      papers, working groups, field trips, posters, and trade exhibits make
      the event the most comprehensive overview of wildland weed work in
      California. Join us for our 14th annual Symposium!

      Program
      This year’s theme sessions explore the crucial topic of prevention,
      with invited speakers describing partnerships, protocols and programs
      that effectively address the spread of invasive plants. Five sessions
      of contributed papers and a poster session delve into the latest in
      weed biology, control, mapping, and more. Plus weed alerts,
      exhibitors, working groups, a photo contest, awards, auction, and a
      guest talk by Joe Silveira of the Sacramento River National Wildife
      Refuge on “The Return of Diversity to Great Valley Wildlife
      Habitats.”

      Wildland Weed Field Course
      The day before the Symposium, plan on attending our first hands-on
      field course focusing on control of wildland weeds. The course is
      designed to benefit newcomers and experienced weed workers alike by
      combining a comprehensive review of field techniques with the latest
      in cutting-edge technology.

      Field Trips
      Choose from four exciting field trips on Saturday -- explore weed
      work at the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge, Lower and
      Upper Bidwell Park, the Sutter Buttes, and Stony and Red Bank Creeks.

      Chico!
      Our meeting venue on the CSU campus borders lively downtown Chico.
      Big Chico Creek cuts through campus, and Bidwell Park begins
      upstream, ranging into the foothills. Bidwell is one of the largest
      municipal parks in the country, and played the part of Sherwood
      Forest for The Adventures of Robin Hood in 1938. Lassen Volcanic
      National Park is 40 miles east.
