Training Videos
Cal-IPC partnered with the National Park Service's California Exotic Plant Management Team and Pacific Coast Science and Learning Center to produce educational videos related to wildland weed contol. Our goals are to meet traning needs expressed by our members and to make this training more broadly available by hosting it on our website.
Cal-IPC continues will continue to develop and produce additional on-line educational tools. Please contact us if you have a suggestion for a future topic or presenter.
