SUMMARY:USDA Cooperative Research Forum on Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:Invasive pests cost the U.S. an estimated over $120 billion each year in damages to our environment\, agriculture\, and native species. The USDA Cooperative Research Forum on Invasive Species is a critical platform for scientists\, regulators and cooperators from state and federal government agencies and universities to meet\, share and discuss progresses and national strategies and tactics as well as progresses in managing invasive agriculture and forest pests (weeds\, pathogens\, and insects). If left unaddressed\, the invasive pests will continue devastating North American Agriculture\, forests\, and natural resources\, costing taxpayers billions\, making this research forum essential to advancing America’s priority to protect natural resources through effective management strategies that preserve vital tree populations\, benefit stakeholders—from foresters to the general public—through strengthened environmental resilience\, and support statutory authorities governing invasive species management\, environmental protection\, and forestry conservation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJustification Letter\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster Sessions: Tuesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon\n\n\n\nPoster displays on forest invasive species are always welcome.
