What Do We 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 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
