This symposium seeks to draw together municipal staff (parks and 
recreation, public works, inland wetlands/conservation commissions), 
nursery, tree and landscape professionals, educators, students, landscape 
architects, gardening enthusiasts, state and federal employees, and 
members of conservation organizations and the public into a discussion of 
the challenges presented by invasive plants and how we can promote natives 
by managing invasives.

Cornell University. Dr. Blossey's presentation is entitled, "The power of 
choice: new frontiers in invasive plant management and conservation."
