Spot an invasive species? 😱 Report it using the EDDMapS website or app! Your record helps conservation experts track invasive species so that they can create effective management plans. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wR1ZU 🌱 #InvSpWk

Another fieldwork #ProTip is to use #citizensci apps like @inaturalist , @Team_eBird and #EDDMaps to record data. All let you add photos, and the data is synced instead of having to transcribe!

Never mind. Not reporting an invasive Mimosa tree in an Oklahoma park. It requires use of iNaturalist or EDDMapS and I limit the number of apps on my phone for mental health.

I don't always find noxious weeds just commuting around, but when I do I report them! #eddmaps #noxiousweeds #purpleloosestrife

Apples and crabapples, part of genus Malus, are cherished in Minnesota. But there are reports of Malus species appearing in natural areas. You can help track by reporting wild trees in EDDMapS. Learn more at tips.umn.edu/current/malu.... (Image: Apple flower by ryman56, iNaturalist.)

I prefer using this site to determine invasiveness, which includes the EDDMapS map of how it's being reported. This means it's being reported in the wild, has nothing to do with getting it regulated in the state

Invasive distribution is hard to accurately cite due to limited survey information, gaps in understanding, and expanding NA ranges. It takes an average of 40 years to get official status. In China, Burning bush grows in forests, woodlands, and scrublands.

Super inspiring talk by Chuck Bargeron from #EDDMapS on smartphone apps for reporting invasives #Neobiota2016

One of the difficult things about studying rosy reds in Alberta is that the fathead minnow naturally occurs here but has the same species name as the rosy red. Invasive species reporting tools like iNaturalist and EDDMaps cannot distinguish between then.

They also found some really cool citizen science & field data collection apps like @PlantNetProject, @EDDMapS, @inaturalist, & @Falling_Fruit.
