Presented at the 36th Natural Areas Conference, “Living on the Edge: Why Natural Areas Matter”, Vancouver, Washington, USA, September 15-18, 2009.
A crucial part of invasive species prevention, early detection and management is having good location information. The New York Natural Heritage Program, the Florida Natural Areas Inventory, The Nature Conservancy and NatureServe are working together to develop an online, GIS-based mapping tool to assist on-the-ground land managers and others working on invasive species. This national prototype will allow users to enter quality-controlled data online, search and view data, run analyses, and create maps and reports. Learn how iMapInvasives serves the needs of those working on invasive species and how you and your partners can participate at a statewide scale
