[CANUFNET] Stop the Spread Forum Agenda & Registration

[Ward, Greg]

This forum may be of interest to urban foresters since it addresses a critical and growing area of concern in the management of our urban forests.  There is also an opportunity for the private sector to connect with prospective clients that are managing urban forests.  Surrey currently spends tens of thousands of dollars in the management of invasive species, carried out primarily by the private sector.
 
all the best,

Greetings to all,

Now is your chance!

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to network with other invasive plant specialists from BC, Canada and around the world! Space is limited to 130 participants so be sure to register early.

Featuring international guest speakers from Australia, Oregon and Washington, topics will include informed choices and practical solutions for invasive plant management. Tuesday's sessions will conclude with a nibble and network reception in mid-afternoon. Wednesday will feature Brian Minter from Minter Gardens who will discuss "being a credible leader in the field of sustainability" along with a number of other dynamic speakers from around the globe.

New to this year's forum are conference booths and displays. If you are interested in showcasing your organization please indicate your interest by checking the "Conference/Display Booth" box on the registration form and include the additional fee with your forum registration form. Space is limited to 15 conference booths so be sure to register early.

For an extra fee, join us for Thursday's optional, classroom-based workshop, "Working Towards Ecological Restoration," which will look at the challenges facing the restoration of BC's ecosystems. Space is limited to 30 participants so be sure to register early.
