ABOUT GVIPC

The Greater Vancouver Invasive Plant Council (GVIPC) is working to improve the way we manage invasive plants in Greater Vancouver.

Members of the GVIPC include regional and municipal governments, environmental stewardship groups, academic institutions, nurseries and non-profit organizations. Our mandate is:

• to collaborate with stakeholders on regional invasive plant management programs and initiatives,
  
  
• to increase awareness of the need to manage invasive plants in the region,
  
  
• to encourage the use of relevant science in the management of invasive plants,
  
  
• to support efforts of stakeholders in the management of invasive plants,
  
  
• to provide information to decision makers to help emphasize the need to manage invasive plants,
  
  
• to collect, compile and disseminate information regarding the management and control of invasive plants, and
  
  
• to undertake education and outreach activities that complement other initiatives dealing with invasive plant management.
