Subject: Register Your Invasive Plant Volunteer Group! (Mid-Atlantic Region)

Hi,

Do you have a volunteer-based invasive plant management program in the
mid-Atlantic region?  If so, please register it!

If you oversee a group of volunteers who conduct invasive plant removals in
DC, DE, MD, NJ, PA, VA, or WV, please take a minute to add your group to
the Invasive Plant Volunteers Directory.

To register, click here to complete a short survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/InvasivePlantVolunteers

Why bother? Because understanding the number and distribution of volunteer
groups in our area will help to:

    Recognize the significance of volunteer efforts in restoring invaded
    lands,
    Identify areas in need of volunteer assistance,
    Help connect interested volunteers with a suitable group,
    Build a stronger network of invasive plant workers in the region,
    Build support for potential funding of volunteer-based programs.

The directory will eventually be posted to the Mid-Atlantic Invasive Plant
Council (MAIPC) website at www.maipc.org.

To add a link to the survey from a webpage, copy the code below and paste
it into the HTML of the webpage:

Special thanks to Karan Rawlins, University of Georgia Center for Invasive
Species and Ecosystem Health, for putting our survey into SurveyMonkey!

Thank you,

Jil
