Please feel free to distribute the following information to any students who might be interested.
The Ontario Invasive Plant Council and the Invasive Species will be hosting a free workshop on Sunday April 3rd 2016 for College and University students living or studying near Peel and Halton Regions. The workshop will be held at Sheridan’s Trafalgar campus in Oakville.
WHAT:
This free, one-day, student led workshop will cover Ontario’s established and next wave invasive species. All taxa (plants, birds, fish, you name it!) will be covered. No prior expertise is needed to attend.
WHY:
Emerging researchers across Peel and Halton regions are contributing to exciting new research that is helping us better understand invasive species and their impacts on Ontario’s natural history. Student representatives from each of Peel and Halton region’s colleges and universities are invited to take part in this one day free workshop that has been sponsored by the EDRR Network of Ontario.
Participants will have the opportunity to network with peers from other institutions, studying similar issues, and share experiences gained from working on a range of invasive species found in Ontario.
Presentations will also focus on a range of invasive species that are not yet found in Ontario, and help introduce participants to the “Next-wave” of invasive plants, diseases, and other taxa.
