Special Events and Activities

  • Photo Exhibit: Our annual photo exhibit gives amateur photographers a chance to show off their best plant and people photos.
  • Raffle: Each year, the Symposium features the fabulous Cal-IPC raffle and auction. We are seeking your donations of useful, pretty, or simply creative items. Books, tools, art, gift certificates - anything a weed worker could want is fair game. Items may be sent to the Cal-IPC office or brought to the Symposium. Please contact Tanya Meyer at meyer@yolorcd.org if you have something to donate.
  • Field Trips: Saturday field trips visit local weed removal projects or areas of scenic interest.
