Hosted by the St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM), the Eastern Lake Ontario (ELO) Invasive Species Symposium provides an opportunity to connect with field professionals and expand your knowledge of invasive species management.

The symposium will be held on June 12th, 2025 at SUNY Oswego’s Sheldon Ballroom in Oswego, NY. This year’s symposium theme is Adaptive Approaches for Terrestrial and Aquatic Invasive Species Management focusing on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), climate change, and restoring biodiversity.

Pre-Symposium Workshops: In conjunction with the symposium, we are offering two workshops on June 11th, 2025, between 9:30 AM-4:30 PM at the SUNY Oswego Rice Creek Field Station (Brownell Rd, Oswego, NY 13126).

1. Emerald Ash Borer Biocontrol Monitoring Workshop: Learn about and engage in biological control monitoring efforts.

2. Water Protectors Aquatic Plant Workshop: Hands-on experience to learn about and observe live native and aquatic invasive plants.

The symposium and workshops are free and open to the public, and lunch will be included.
