Northeast Regional Community and Urban IPM Conference

Community and urban settings present special challenges when it comes to managing pests. In our homes, schools, parks, golf courses and other public spaces, a growing importance is placed on using low-risk, environmentally sound methods to control insects, diseases, weeds, and other pests. On March 15-16, 2005, researchers, educators, regulators, pest managers, and others involved in Community and Urban IPM from across the Northeast will gather in Manchester, New Hampshire to share their insights and expertise in this emerging arena.
