Subject: Announcing2008 NEWSS Noxious and Invasive Vegetation Short Course
Pre-Registration
Dear Stakeholders,
With great pleasure, we are announcing the first Northeastern Weed
Science Society (NEWSS) Noxious & Invasive Vegetation Management Short
Course (NIVM) to be held in Pennsylvania September 15, 16, 17 and 18,
2008
This course has evolved to meet the demand and need for training and
instruction of professionals involved in the administration and/or
application of management strategies for invasive plants here in the
Northeastern United States. At the 2007 Northeastern Weed Science
Society Conference in Baltimore, MD a group of stakeholders met to
discuss the need for the short course and to review the Western Society
of Weed Science (WSWS) history and success in conducting a similar
activity for ranchers, federal and state employees and others involved
in noxious and invasive weed management. The content of the NEWSS NIVM
short course is modeled in part after the Western Course.
The NEWSS NIVM Short Course will target public and private land managers
(parks, conservancies, preserves, forests, private parcels and farms)
from Maine to North Carolina who desire a better understanding of weed
management. The course will stress ecologically-based plant management
and include monitoring and assessment, prevention, cultural, mechanical
and chemical plant management. Classroom, laboratory and field exercises
will be utilized and the program will be designed to encourage
interaction between instructors and students.
Weed management professionals from throughout the Northeast will help
conduct the program. To cover the cost of instruction, teaching
materials and facility rental we are charging $300.00 for the 2.5 day
terrestrial short course and $100.00 for the 1 day aquatic short course
or $400.00 for the entire event. Students will have to cover travel,
lodging and some meal expenses.
At this time we request your assistance in circulating this
announcement. The Society has posted the announcement flyer and
pre-registration documents on the NEWSS Website www.newss.net.
We appreciate your assistance in disseminating this important and
exciting information to potential registrants.
Sincerely,
Melissa A. Bravo
