UC Weed Science (weed control, management, ecology, and minutia)

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Western Society of Weed Science last week down in Albuquerque, and it was a great time! As always there was quality information presented throughout the meeting along with great discussion about weeds inside and outside of the sessions.

If you ever wished you were part of the UC Cooperative Extension Weed Science team, this may be your big opportunity! Link to job posting: http://ucanr.edu/Jobs/Jobs_990/?jobnum=921 Link to all UCANR employment opportunities: http://ucanr.

In January, the California Weed Science Society held its annual symposium in Sacramento and WOW, what a conference! This year's conference theme was Addressing Diverse and Dynamic Challenges in Weed Management.

The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) announced earlier this month several new or updated educational publications about weeds and weed impacts that will be of interest to both the scientific community as well as the general public.

Through Sustainable Conservation and the California Horticultural Invasives Prevention (Cal-HIP) committee, the PlantRight campaign was founded in 2005. PlantRight has brought together leaders from the nursery industry, environmental groups, and academics.
