Please save the date!
Plan to join us October 17-20, 2016 at the Boise Centre in Boise, ID for the 4th Northern Rockies Invasive
Plants Council Conference. This four day conference will feature presentations on the latest developments in
invasive plant research and provide ample opportunity for managers and researchers to engage and identify creative new approaches to managing invasions. Join the discussion of possibilities and problems specific to the management of invasive plants in natural areas, and perhaps more importantly, contribute to solutions!

Conference participation and information is not limited to the Northern Rockies or the USA. We strongly
encourage colleagues from all regions and continents to join us and present. Our previous three meetings were
each attended by over 200 inspired land managers and researchers!
