Sustainability Stories > Tackling Invasive Plants posted on 8:54 AM, December 17, 2012
Alien invasive plants are a big problem in BC. They disrupt natural ecosystems, overrun agricultural lands and harm local economies. Back in 2001 the Fraser Basin Council brought together government, business and community interests for scientific grounding on the issues and to find new ways to collaborate. This led to an Invasive Plant Strategy for BC and creation of an Invasive Plant Council (now the Invasive Species Council of BC, or ISCBC). Over 300 organizations province-wide have pledged support for the strategy. ISCBC is there to educate and engage different sectors, encourage integration of data inventories, oversee research on biological controls and economic impacts, and help regional invasive species committees. |
