TNC's Eastern North America Invasives Learning Network is focused on
building strategic learning and implementation for invasive species threat
abatement at multiple scales through a peer-learning network of
practitioners and partners. While the strategies and approaches we use will
be applicable to all sites and habitat types, this 2008 workshop will
highlight coastal and estuarine habitats.
 
New participants and TNC project sites are welcome!

provided. Participants have to pay their own travel, lodging, and some meal
costs.
 
Registration, travel and other meeting information will be available by July
