43^rd Annual Research Symposium on the Management of Biological Invasions

My first time to attend the “Weeds Workshop”, and this one is a special one to gather information together for the Status Report on invasive species in South Africa being compiled by the CIB and SANBI. The meeting took place at Goudini Spa - a great place to keep warm and wet on a cold night.

The talks presented will be published as papers in a special issue of Bothalia.
