Integrated Pest Managment Education / Registration
Information
University of Minnesota.
IPM3 is
offering six distance education courses this fall 2011
and winter 2012 on various IPM topics, including invasive
species. IPM3 is
a consortium of federal agencies and land-grant institiutions
dedicated to the efficient and timely delivery of practical
integrated pest information to individuals responsible
for developing and implementing Integrated Pest Management
(IPM). IPM3 provides
a Web-based, distance delivery opportunity for people
interested in IPM to
become proficient in the principles and application
of IPM.
Increasing the quality and consistency of IPM training
among Federal agencies and their adoption of an IPM approach
for invasive species management will certainly help
minimize harm to the environment, to human health,
and to wildlife.
