Resilient Long Island 2024 LIISMA/LINPI Symposium

A Symposium on Invasive and Native Species for Long Island's Future, hosted by the Long Island Native Plant Initiative (LINPI) and Long Island Invasive Species Management Area (LIISMA)

This year's presentations will focus on resiliency in the face of climate change. A few topics to look forward to include predictions and management measures for both native and invasive species, the importance of using ecotypes in the face of climate change, preventing and prioritizing invasive species, and ecosystems of greatest risk. We will take a look at our own native species, as well as the novel-ecosystems that have arisen with the introduction of foreign invaders, in relation to the continued resiliency of Long Island and the Mid-Atlantic region at large.For more details, please visit https://liisma.org/resilientli-2024/

High level agenda:

March 7 - Poster session @ Seatuck
March 8 - Conference @ Hofstra University
