It's one thing to know *what* an #invasivespecies is, and it's another to know *how* to impact real change. This course will teach you the latter, and (we hope) will equate to measurable on-the-gound action to help battle the invasive species problem in the U.S. and abroad. Check it out!

Spruce budworm is the most significant disturbance agent in the boreal forest (yes, more than fire and way more than harvesting), with outbreaks resulting in change in forest composition and fire susceptibility. The Budworm Tracker project helps us understand and predict these outbreaks. 3/4
