What Does the CIPC Do?

The goal of the CIPC is to minimize the impacts of invasive alien plants in the region through:

• Effecting a well educated and aware population;
• Coordinating management between agencies and land occupiers;
• Completing and maintaining comprehensive baseline inventory and mapping;
• Preventing new introductions; and,
• Containing, controlling and eradicating existing infestations.

Some of our planned activities include:

• Annual Coordination Meetings to bring land managers together to discuss high priority invasive plant species and potential strategies for cooperation
• Information sharing between stakeholders on invasive plant initiatives and beneficial management practices
• Weed Hotline for residents to report weeds or ask questions
• Display booth at fall fairs and other community events
• Public talks at special events and for interest groups to explain the importance of invasive plant management and the current state of the region
• Press releases on regional invasive plants of concern
• Educational materials such as fact sheets and brochures
• Inventory and removal of new invasive plant species
