[APWG] WSWS Arundo/Phragmites Symposium

[Chang, David]

Announcing:

The Arundo/Phragmites Symposium

March 13 and 14, 2008

Hyatt Regency Orange County

Anaheim, CA

Sponsored by the Western Society of Weed Science

 

Giant reed (Arundo donax) and common reed (Phragmites australis) are
major invasive plants of riparian and wetland ecosystems in the US. The
Arundo/Phragmites Symposium brings together experts from both coasts to
present the current knowledge on the biology, ecology, impacts, and
management of both species. While common reed is principally thought to
be a problem of the east coast, invasive biotypes have been identified
from California and Idaho. This will be an opportunity for "weed
warriors" in the west to learn first hand about this potential new pest.
Plan now to attend this important symposium.
