The Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC) is a not-for-profit organization, working in partnership with professionals and community members throughout Ontario, serving as a forum for collaborative and coordinated action towards invasive plants, which pose a substantial threat to Ontario’s environment, economy, and society. Through research, networking and knowledge sharing, we support on-the-ground initiatives to prevent, detect, and manage invasive plants. Our Board of Directors and membership includes representatives from federal and provincial government agencies, municipalities, conservation authorities, agriculture, industry, and various non-government organizations. This network provides a valuable forum for coordinated action. OIPC is also a chapter of Invasives Canada (formerly the Canadian Council on Invasive Species), representing Ontario on this national board, providing a national voice, and working together to build practical solutions to prevent the spread of invasive species.
