[APWG] CONFERENCE: Invasive Species Conference - Missoula Feb 13-14 (MT)

[Olivia Kwong]

---------- Forwarded message ----------

This is a two day conference at the interface between applied research and
management of invasive species in natural areas.  University and agency
researchers will meet with land managers of the Rocky Mountain States to
discuss possibilities and problems specific to the management of invasive
species in natural areas.

In three concurrent sessions, presenters will address impacts, management,
and restoration practices for invasive species in natural areas.
Presentations will attempt to provide answers to the following underlying
questions:
       Individual invasive species management versus community oriented
       management; what do we want to see when we look at natural areas?
       Restoration with exotic versus native species; how native do natural
       areas have to be?
       Greatly degraded natural areas; what can we do besides throwing our
       hands up?
       Invasive species replacement; how do we break out of the vicious
       cycle?
In addition, participants will discuss the formation of a Rocky Mountain
EPPC (Exotic Plant Pest Council).
