         Protocols, Information, and Partnerships to Stop the Spread of
                                Invasive Plants"

      Join friends and colleagues at the California Invasive Plant
      Council’s 14th Annual Symposium on the campus of Chico State
      University! The Symposium is the state's biggest gathering of
      wildland weed workers, and gives members an unparalleled opportunity
      to exchange insights and approaches. This year's invited papers will
      focus on the theme of prevention, with sessions on protocols and
      practices for limiting weed movement, inventory and prediction
      approaches aimed at stopping spread, and partnerships for early
      detection and rapid response. Adding to the mix will be contributed
      paper sessions, a poster session, working group meetings, and field
      trips.

      CALL FOR PAPERS: Cal-IPC invites members of the wildland weed
      community to submit abstracts for contributed paper sessions or the
      poster session. We encourage talks and posters focusing on weed
      biology, treatment techniques, control and restoration projects,
      community-based efforts, and funding. Oral presentations are 12
      minutes with 3 minutes for questions. Both oral and poster presenters
      receive a discount on registration. Space for presenters is limited.
      Submission guidelines at www.cal-ipc.org. Abstracts sent to
      contributed sessions organizer Dan Gluesenkamp at
      gluesenkamp at egret.org. Deadline is Friday, June 17.

      CALL FOR SPONSORS: Each year organizations make donations as
      Symposium sponsors as a way of supporting Cal-IPC's work. Sponsors
      can receive space in the exhibit hall, mention in the program packet,
      and other benefits. For levels and benefits, see www.cal-ipc.org. The
      poster/exhibitor session scheduled in this year's agenda will
      encourage the 300 attendees to visit sponsor exhibits of interest.
      Exhibit space is limited, and early arrangements are recommended.

      REGISTRATION: Registration materials and program details will be
      available this summer at www.cal-ipc.org. Registration fees will be
      approximately $200. A limited number of reduced-rate scholarships
      will be available.

      We look forward to seeing you there!
