Weeds Across Borders 2010

Plant Invasions, Policies and Politics
Weeds Across Borders 2010
June 1-4, 2010

National Conservation Training Center,
Shepherdstown, West Virginia, USA

The Weeds Across Borders 2010 (WAB10) conference will focus on the theme of
Plant Invasions, Policies and Politics. This will be the fifth time this
conference has been held since the group first got together in Tucson,
Arizona, in 2002. Weeds Across Borders was originally founded in 2000 by the
U.S. Federal Interagency for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds
(FICMNEW).

WAB10 conference registration details and an agenda will be posted soon.

Weeds Across Borders is an international biennial conference covering the
interests of professionals and organizations involved in invasive plant
management and regulation across North America. It is composed of
organizations from numerous jurisdictions in Mexico, the United States, and
Canada. Because weeds do not respect human-imposed laws or boundaries, we
believe the development of partnerships, information sharing mechanisms, and
cross-boundary programs are crucial to successful invasive plant management.
