Biological Control for Nature Conference
Northampton, Massachusetts, USA
October 3 - 10, 2010
This meeting will explore the benefits of classical biological control for the control of invasive insects and weeds in natural forests, and associated habitats such as wetlands, grasslands, and deserts. Applications to islands and other natural systems will be included. The meeting will not address other forms of biological control (augmentation, conservation, biopesticides), nor will it address use of biological control in plantation forestry. The meeting will appeal to biological control scientists, conservationists, invasion biologists, and land managers.
