SOUTH WEST INVASIVE MANAGERS (SWIM)
South West Invasive Managers (SWIM) formed as a group in 2014 to gather accumulated knowledge and experience of invasive species managers from the southwest corner of Alberta, to discuss existing and emerging shared invasive prevention and management issues, and begin to develop regional strategies. The area of focus includes the mountains, foothills, and fescue grasslands in southwest Alberta, in communication with eastern British Columbia/northern Montana partners.
