FLORIDA WEED SCIENCE SOCIETY MEETING SCHEDULED

The 2008 Annual Meeting of the Florida Weed Science Society will be held at FFVA’s office in Maitland Feb. 25-26.

In conjunction with the Society’s itinerary this year is the Weed Identification Short Course, a unique opportunity for a hands-on chance to learn more about identifying weeds we encounter every day in Florida from citrus and vegetable production as well as in lawns and gardens.

Pre-registration for the Weed Identification Short Course portion of the meeting is required and space is limited to the first 50 applicants.

A block of rooms is reserved at the Sheraton Orlando North at a rate of $109 per night, with a cutoff date of Feb. 11, so reservations need to be made soon.

For more information on the meeting, the Short Course or accommodation details, contact FFVA’s Environmental and Pest Management Division at (321) 214-5200.
