  2. Thanks • Tony Pernas, National Park Service • Sarah Braun, Florida State University • Chris Evans, River to River CWA - Illinois

  3. Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System • Distribution of Invasive Plants Across the South • Electronic Early Detection System to Allow for More Rapid Responses • Large Scale Cooperative Management of New Invasive Species

  4. History • No complete distribution data for Southeast • Holes in USDA PLANTS and now USDA Forest Service FIA data • Some data existed but not compiled in one location • SE-EPPC could provide support for state chapters • Invasive Plant List justification (Florida model) • State EPPCs could provide EDRR framework • Central location for collection and storage of data

  5. PLANT Database

  6. EDDMapS • 1 year (SE-EPPC) • Further compilation of collection data • Additional training sessions • Applied for Pulling Together Grant • Looking for other funding opportunities • Need for collaboration between all of the mapping projects underway

  7. Future Features • Links to Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants • Link to Identification and Biology of Non-Native Plants in Florida’s Natural Areas • Add way to include new species • Add a way to submit plant for identification • Add expert levels to user accounts • Others??

  8. Other Projects • Forest *A*Syst – Forest Landowner’s Assessment Guide • Invasive Plant of the United States DVD • Bugwood Network becoming UGA Center of Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health

  9. Invasive Plant Atlas of New England

  10. Invasive Plant Atlas of Mid South

  11. Invasive Plant Atlas of Atlantic Coast

  12. Workshop – June 29 • SE-EPPC Early Detection& Distribution Mapping System and Assessment Workshop • Chattanooga, Tennessee • Agenda • Introduction to GPS/GIS • Introduction to Plant Photography • EDDMapS Data Entry • EDDMapS Data Retrieval • Weed Lists and Assessment
