Title: Getting Reacquainted with the Hawaii-Pacific Weed Risk Assessment
Presenter: Charles Chimera, Weed Risk Assessor, Hawaii-Pacific Weed Risk Assessment
Date: January 19, 2017
Summary: In our third installment of the HISC Brown Bag presentation series, botanist Charles Chimera gives us an overview of the Hawaii-Pacific Weed Risk Assessment (HPWRA). The HPWRA is a quantitative tool to assess whether or not a plant species is likely to be invasive in Hawaii. The HPWRA is used for a number of outreach, education, and consumer decision0making processes. You can learn more at the HPWRA website and at Plant Pono, a website that provides advice on making safe, non-invasive decisions for plant purchases.
The HISC Brown Bag Series is an ongoing set of informal lunchtime presentations to facilitate information sharing among partners and stakeholders.
