IPAW Education Committee

2005 Activity Highlights

* Invasive Species Awareness Month: June 2005

The IPAW Education Committee (IPAW-EC) formulated a detailed outline of this concept. The WI Council on Invasive Species successfully submitted this outline for funding, from which they hired an Education Coordinator to do the planning. IPAW-EC members provided support to this coordinator, participated in planning meetings, and held numerous outreach activities during June such as field trips, lectures and newsletter articles.
