In January 2020, the OIPC hosted its 12th annual invasive plant conference and AGM at the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority in London Ontario. This year’s conference was extended to combine the Ontario Phragmites Working Group (OPWG) Annual Meeting the following day. It was another successful two-day event with a lot of great energy in the room. Participants enjoyed presentations from invasive plant professionals across Ontario. See below to access the presentation slides and program agenda. To access the OPWG presentations, visit the OPWG website or click here.
Note: This was the first year that select presentations were approved by IPM Council of Canada for Continuing Education Credits (CEC).
