Program:
The Yukon Invasive Species Council (or, YISC, which has suddenly become my favourite acronym to say) is a registered non-profit society formed to prevent the introduction and to manage the spread of invasive species in the Yukon.
The Yukon is struggling with extreme effects of climate change, which means invasive plant species are spreading at an exponential rate. Bruce Bennett, a wildlife biologist and the curator of the B.A. Bennett Herbarium in Whitehorse, and Sruthee Govindaraj, an environmental scientist in Whitehorse, will share what we can do to mitigate the impact of invasive species.
