Invasive Species of BC
Join us and the Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC) to learn about three of the world’s most notorious invasive species. We will discuss the Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica), the Asian Giant Hornet (Vespa mandarinia) and the European Green Crab (Carcinus maenas), their presence in British Columbia and what you can do to help.
Our mentor will be Nick Wong – he is the ISCBC’s research and projects coordinator. He has diverse experience working previously in Pacific salmon and herring fisheries in BC, and has a PhD in Marine Ecology from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Nick is passionate about teaching and creating engaging opportunities for people to learn and understand the role they can play in the prevention and mitigation of invasive species.
