SUMMARY:February Speaker Series | Updates to the Invasive Species Guideline for Gardeners
DESCRIPTION:Updates to the Invasive Species Guideline for Gardeners\nTickets – EHS Members Free | Non-members $10 \nIn 2026\, the Alberta Invasive Species council released an updated guideline for invasive species in the province. Many people have different perspectives on the concept of invasive species\, but they play a huge role in our economy\, the way our ecosystem functions\, and the cultural or ceremonial practices of Indigenous peoples across North America. \nSpent a thoughtful evening exploring the world of invasives with Fiona Spitzig\, who leads the Invasive Species Outreach team at the city of Edmonton. \nCome with your questions ready\, and an open mind! \nSpeaker Bio\nFiona Spitzig (she/her) is a career environmental educator\, with a B.Sc. from the University of Lethbridge in general science\, focusing on biology\, geography and neuroscience.

As part of her role as the Invasive Plant Outreach Program lead\, she provides education\, training and consultation to a variety of audiences on pest plant identification and management. She leads sessions for Edmontonians\, other City of Edmonton employees and contractors\, focussing on problem pest plants within the City\, species likely to become a concern and integrated pest management best practices for the detection\, eradication and ongoing management of various regulated and non-regulated invasive plant species.
