[APWG] Invasive Plants Diagnostic Listserve

[Richard Old]

The Center for Invasive Plant Management (CIPM) at Montana State University
was recently asked to host a new Invasive Plant Diagnostics Listserv as a
service to experts in weed detection and identification, nationwide. Of the
4,271 exotic species reported by BONAP for North America, 1,584 are reported
in only a single state or province!  When these species jump to other areas,
their rapid identification can depend upon communication with someone
already familiar with the species.  It is our hope to build a listserv for
experts in invasive plant detection and identification, where participants
can request assistance in the identification of unknown invasive plant
species, notify others of their findings, and generally improve the
communication amongst this small group of specialists, regionally and
nationally.  Please provide contact information for any invasive plant
experts, who you feel should be added to this listserv. Direct all
communication to:  elizabeth.gallinoble at montana.edu
