[APWG] Mapping Invasives on Campus

[Kerry Wixted]

Hi all,
 
I was browsing the internet for invasive species info and came across a map of invasive species on the U. of Kentucky campus. I thought this would be an interesting project for any undergrads that you might know on your respective campuses. A project like that could give undergrads experience with using GPS units, mapping as well as invasive ID. I know both Frostburg State U and WVU had invasives planted on campus, and I always wanted to talk to the landscaping crews about using natives as an alternative. Having a map like this might be a great start to tackling such a problem and would also be useful for botany classes. :) Just a thought...
 
You can find the map here: http://www.uky.edu/~sfei2/GIS/Invasive%20map.pdf
