SUMMARY:Invasives Forum 2026
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to return to New Westminster this February 2026 for the INVASIVES Forum\, where invasive species practitioners\, researchers\, Indigenous and youth leaders\, industry partners\, and community members come together to tackle invasive species head-on. \nTomorrow’s landscapes are built by the choices we make today. INVASIVES 2026 is about protecting the places that connect us all through partnership\, knowledge\, and action. Over the week\, we’ll spark bold conversations\, showcase innovation\, and share real-world strategies for invasive species management. \nFor more than 20 years\, the ISCBC Forum has been at the forefront of invasive species action in B.C. and beyond. This year\, our theme\, One Landscape\, One Future\, highlights the connections between working lands\, wild spaces\, and urban centres and the responsibility we share to steward them. \nJoin us in New Westminster to celebrate connection\, discover new ideas\, and shape the future of invasive species management. Can’t join us in person? This year\, a virtual option will also be available\, so you can still be part of the conversation. \nCOST VARIES: Early Bird\, 1-Day\, 2-Day\, Virtual tickets for ISCBC Members\, Non-Members\, Students
