EVENT: AUGUST 14, 2012- LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR INVASIVE SPECIES ROAD RALLY- Halton, Ontario, Canada

The main threats to Biodiversity include Invasive Alien Species. Want to help stop the loss of BioDiversity by learning to identify and report invasive species? Want to help the native biodiversity of Ontario thrive in its natural environment? Then here is an event for you!


Halton Peel BioDiversity Network (HPBDN) and P.O.W.E.R, with the generous support of the Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) are partnering to host the first Invasive Species Road Rally training.


Purpose of a road rally is to record where invasive species are occurring and then sharing the information, through the ISAP, with the municipality where the invasion is occurring.


HPBDN will also maintain a copy of the information with the gaol of mapping invasive species In Halton Peel. With this information we can monitor, track and map invasive species in Halton Peel Region with the goal of taking actions to stop their spread.


We are looking for people in Halton peel who are interested in learning the ins and outs of the road rallies and who will help in future road rally events.


Training will be during the morning, and lunch will be provided for participants.
