We're holding a special parallel conference on Oct. 29, the first day of the Symposium, exploring how HCP/NCCPs will effectively protect biodiversity from invasive plants in the future (see the Preliminary Program). Overlapping sessions between the events provide an excellent opportunity for cross-fertilization between land managers and habitat planners.  Register Now for this special one-day conference to help chart the future of regional habitat protection! (No need to register if you're already attending the Symposium.)
