Several regional agencies and organizations have partnered to create the Northwest Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change (NW RISCC) Network, a community of practice dedicated to helping practitioners address the nexus of climate change and invasive species, including plants, animals, and pathogens. The objective is to help practitioners within federal, tribal, state, and local agencies and conservation organizations integrate climate change science and adaptation with invasive species prevention, early detection, control, monitoring, and research activities.
The NW RISCC Advisory Team would like to invite you and members of the Pacific North West Tribal Wetlands Working Group to our upcoming virtual symposium to be held September 15-16, 2021. The goal is to bring together managers, scientists, and other practitioners to discuss the nexus of climate change, extreme events such as wildfires and droughts, and invasive species management in the Northwest.
When: September 15th & 16th 2021, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm PT
Cost: Free!
Who should attend: Managers, scientists, and other practitioners that are concerned about invasive species, climate change, and extreme events in the Northwest including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, and neighboring states and provinces
Why you should attend:
- Showcase your research or on-the-ground project
- Contribute to a cutting-edge initiative
- Create new and enhance existing partnerships with other Northwest practitioners
- Inform regional research and funding priorities
