Join us for the 2012 PNWER Invasive Species Conference

The 2012 Conference will bring together federal, state, tribal and local government agencies; academic institutions; non-profit organizations; industry leaders; legislators; and others to develop regional strategies to address the threat of invasive species to our natural resources, economy, and quality of life.

 

The 2012 conference will address:

  • Reducing the Economic And Ecological Risks
  • Changing Behavior Through Outreach and Marketing: Effective Marketing, and Regional Campaigns: Successes and Lessons Learned
  • Cross-Border Challenges: Inter-Jurisdictional Issues and the Border
  • Emerging Issues
  • The PNWER Invasive Species Council: A Region-Wide Approach to Enhance Messaging and Collaboration
The full-day conference will be followed by an optional tour the next day, highlighting invasive species control projects in the region, including:
  • Tour of European buckthorn infestation
  • Using goat and sheep grazing in the control of invasive species
  • Eradication of flowering rush through volunteer efforts

A preliminary agenda, and additional information on the meeting can be found online at: http://www.pnwer.org/InvasiveSpeciesConference.aspx

Travel Funding

There is a small amount of funding available to support travel for conference attendees. These will likely be subsidies which cover part, but not all, of recipients travel costs and will be awarded at the discretion of the workshop co-chairs. Unfortunately we are not able to provide travel reimbursements to all applicants.

 

Decisions regarding disbursement of funds will be made based on need and a number of other factors (to ensure broad representation at the workshop).

 

To apply for travel reimbursement, please complete this form: http://bit.ly/Knhyky  by JUNE 1

 

Please provide a description of other funding available to cover your travel costs in the box on the form.  

 

Please note the application date falls after the early bird registration expires
