The report is the Invasive Plant Program Annual Report for the Okanagan Region and includes inventories of invasive plants, activities undertaken, and recommendations for 2008. Designing and implementing an effective invasive plant program within the Okanagan Region is critical in fulfilling this mission and to ensure the long-term protection of our natural spaces.
