[MPWG] Invasives

[Cafesombra at aol.com]

FYI.  I thought perhaps some on the list would be interested in this guide, 
also, its format sounds very practical.
I'm afraid this is sort of off-topic in regard to invasives where there is 
harvestable medicine, unless of course you are a wildcrafter, as I am.

************************************
The Pennsylvania Field Guide -Common Invasive Plants in Riparian 
Areas describes twenty-four of the most significant invasive plants, 
vines, shrubs and trees in Pennsylvania. The waterproof guide was 
written and designed for use by volunteers in the field to positively 
identify invasive plants targeted for removal. Each plant listing 
includes a color photo for easy identification, plus a black and 
white drawing.  Leaf, flower and seed information is offered in an 
easy to read format, allowing for quick identification. Control 
options specific to each plant are included. Look-alike plant 
information is given to avoid volunteers pulling desirable plants 
that closely resemble the invasives.

Printed copies of the field guide may be ordered by contacting the 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of 
Watershed Conservation at 717-772-5807 or through the DEP website at 
www.dep.state.pa.us .  In mid-July, the publication will be online at 
the DEP website and at the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay website: 
www.alliancechesbay.org, (choose publications).
