The Symposium is the ideal place to learn the latest in invasive

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.
