HELP NEEDED NOW

for Planning the 2003 Plants out of Place Conference

Do you have some good ideas for topics that you would like see addressed at the conference? Do you have some experience organizing conferences, or have ideas that will help make PooP – 2003 a success? Now is your chance to provide your ideas and assistance with planning of the next invasive plant conference for the Upper Midwest. The PooP – 2003 conference will be held on Saturday, 27 September 2003, in Madison, Wisconsin. The PooP conference will be held in conjunction with the 2003 Natural Areas Conference. IPAW will be the primary host of the PooP Conference.

The Conference Planning Committee needs people to help now with the early planning of the conference, and, closer to the conference date, will need volunteers to help with details.

If you are interested in helping or have ideas for topics that you would like to see covered at the PooP – 2003 conference, please contact Kelly Kearns, DNR Endangered Resources Program, kearns@dnr.state.wi.us, or (608) 267-5066.
