The Council is holding its first Annual General Meeting Wednesday, April 7, 1 – 5 pm at the Howe Sound Inn in Squamish. The purpose of the AGM is to put faces to names regarding this relatively new regional invasive initiative, review the Council’s accomplishments in 2009 and the plan for 2010, discuss with local citizens invasive plant issues, gain insight into their concerns, priority species and how best to approach the issue locally and regionally. We would love to see you there! RSVP not necessary but appreciated. Agenda attached. Why attend? Share your local knowledge of what invasive plants currently exist, and the impacts that they are having Give input on where and how invasive plants are currently being managed, which invasive plants should be managed and management options.
