New invaders are beginning to colonize our natural areas. Learn how to identify
emerging
invasives trees, shrubs, and herbs that are threatening our forests, but are still
controllable. Fact sheets for 40 CJISST target species are available online at
www.fohvos.org & www.urwa.org.
The workshop has a class and field component. After the presentation, we will
visit a D&R
Greenway preserve to observe the plants in the field and learn CJISST protocol for
data
collection. Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space staff will lead the class.
Strike Team
partners, D&R Greenway, are hosting this event. The preserve is located directly
across
Rosedale Road. No additional driving necessary.

About the Central Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team:
Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space and the Upper Raritan Watershed Association
have
partnered to create the Central Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team (CJISST). The
Strike
Team represents the state's first comprehensive effort toward cooperative
management of
invasive plants through public-private partnerships.
The Strike Team is surveying public and private lands for emerging invasive
species in
New Jersey's Piedmont and Highlands regions. Early Detection/Rapid Response
(ED/RR) to
emerging invasives is key to stopping their spread and negative impacts in natural
areas.
