North Central Weed Science Society and The Mid-West Invasive Plant Network Team Up
The Annual meetings of the NCWSS and MIPN will be held at the Hyatt Regency, Indianapolis from Dec. 8-11th. You can register for the whole meeting or you can register for a single day.
It is a natural partnering of these two groups for the main interest is the management of plant species that have negative economic and environmental impacts. Bringing these two groups together at one venue can facilitate thier synergistic concerns.
