“Containing Invasives: Closing Pandora” is the theme for the March 15 annual environmental conference sponsored by DCNR’s Kings Gap Environmental Education and Training Center and Shippensburg University.

Invasive species are wreaking havoc as they displace natives and compromise the biodiversity of our state, country, and planet. Increased travel and expansion in global trade are the main culprits in the rapidly escalating rate of invasion, with costs being high.

The early registration fee of $30 will include lunch, break, and all registration materials. Full-time students may register for $15.
