2011 YCIASP Symposium - Building Invasive Plant Patrol Teams

The 2011 York County Invasive Aquatic Species Project (YCIASP) Symposium - Building Invasive Plant Patrol (IPP) Teams - has been scheduled for Thurs., Aug. 4, from 6-9 PM. It will be held at the Heritage Room (lower level) at Anderson Learning Center, 21 Bradeen St., in Springvale, ME. Here is the Google link to that location - http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wl
The symposium will be a combination of presentations & discussions related to already-existing active IPP teams, "currently-being-constructed" IPP teams and displays of equipment, tools, reference materials and live plant samples. The event is being held to help bolster the efforts of groups in York County that are working hard to develop IPP teams on their waterbodies, watersheds or in their local regions. You do not need to register for this symposium event.
So, please join us at the symposium and share your hopes for building a team, your tales of trials and tribulations or your stories of success in building a team. We hope to gather ideas that will help folks be more successful at building a team and sustaining it over the years ahead.
Attached is a late July updated YCIASP flyer - updated as of today - with a list of upcoming planned events and other information. The August flyer, with some more specific dates for some events, will be available by week.
Again, thanks for your continuing interest in this project and we hope you can make it to the symposium next Thurs. evening.
This symposium is supported by a grant from the Davis Conservation Foundation & York County Soil &Water.
