The BC Landscape and Nursery Association (BCLNA) was formed in 1953 and today is a vibrant association with chapters in the Lower Mainland, the Interior, and Vancouver Island. The BCLNA offers member companies leadership support and training, industry information, and services toward the development of more knowledgeable and responsible horticulture practices. Included in its mandate is also business development and issues management for BC's green industry.
The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) workshop has two main goals: to see what is happening in our climate and how it impacts pest management and tree selection and to address rodent pest management specifically.
A hot lunch is included for in-person attendees!
