[APWG] Texas Forest Pests

[Steve Windhager]

The Wildflower Center has recently partnered with Texas Forest Service, NBII, and HARC to complete a similar project to this in Texas.  Those interested in seeing info on problem species in forests (as well as distribution of those pests in an ArcIMS format) please check out http://www.texasforestpest.org/index.html.  For more information about this website, contact its designer, Dr. Damon Waitt at dwaitt at wildflower.org.

thanks,

Steve

> http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/products/gallery/gallery.html
> 
> I continue to update the individual descriptions.
> 
> There is also a feature by which pests are listed by regions -- with
> directions or links to the write-up.
> 
> In the meantime, TNC's mapping geniuses are preparing maps showing overlaps
> between areas at risk to ALB, EAB, SOD, etc. and high-priority TNC
> conservation areas (called "portfolio sites").  A few of these maps have
> also been posted; they are at
> http://gis.tnc.org/data/MapbookWebsite/listmaps.php
> the "author" is Natalie Law -- use her name to search the list.
> 
> Only a few maps are currently posted, but as the staff overcomes some
> technical difficulties caused by the enormous size of the files, more will
> be.
> 
> I hope you find these resources useful.
