Our local ecosystems are increasingly at risk from invasive exotic species that out-compete our native biodiversity, pose public health hazards and bring on economic hardship. Landowners, communities, and informed members of the public can play an important role in mitigating local threats.
Provincial leaders and Queen’s University representatives will share current policy, research and on-the-ground practices to combat non-native invasive species. Using case studies that emphasize local threats, a hands-on outdoor tour to identify the most common invaders of the Frontenac Arch, and a demonstration of active invasive species management techniques, this seminar will empower you with the knowledge and ability to join the global battle against invading species.
Space is limited at this free event, so register early! Overnight accommodation ($60/cabin) is available for seminar participants, but must be booked in advance.
