SE-EPPC 10th Annual Symposium

10th Annual Symposium of the Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council
"Managing Invasive Plants in Disturbed Landscapes" 
May 20-22, 2008 
Imperial Palace Casinos Biloxi, Mississippi

The symposium will offer a timely forum for considering how best to manage invasive plants in disturbed landscapes. Ecological disturbances, such as Hurricane Katrina and the 2007 wildfires in southern Georgia and northern Florida, should raise awareness of these events in the southeastern United States. Two important issues arise out of these disturbances:

  • Understanding the responses of invasive plants to natural disturbances and associated recovery and salvage efforts.
  • Coordinating ecological restoration of disturbance regimes with the management of invasive plants.

The program of the 10th Annual SE-EPPC Symposium will emphasize, but is not limited to, presentations addressing concerns about how invasive plants respond to natural and man-made disturbances and how local communities and stakeholders take action to anticipate and respond to the increased threats posed by invasive non-native plants following such disturbances. The symposium will include plenary sessions, workshops, and field trips.
