New Video on Cat's Claw Vine
From Karen Brown, University of Florida - IFAS - Center for Aquatic & Invasive Plants...
There’s a new video ID segment on cat’s claw vine, Macfadyena unguis-cati, at link (approx. 3 minutes long). To see all video ID segments produced by the UF-IFAS Center for Aquatic & Invasive Plants, visit http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/node/677

Welcome!
The Invasive Species of Eastern USA blog features the latest news about invasive species on the East Coast of the United States.
Each blog features a week's worth of news, and is updated several times during the week.
If you're interested in current invasive species issues and news related to the East Coast only, this is a good place to check each week.
I may occasionally post articles about deer management. Although white-tailed deer are a native species, overbrowsing can severely damage ecological communities.
Click the banner at the top of the page for the latest blog.
Some useful links can be found below on the right.
Thank you for visiting!

- I am a consulting ecologist specializing in ecological restoration, invasive species, and conservation planning. I have a 20-year background in natural resources management, including nine years with The Nature Conservancy on Long Island as Invasive Species Project Director. Past employers include the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Natural Land Institute, and Onondaga County Parks. I have an M.S. degree in forest resources management from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) at Syracuse. Most importantly, I have three wonderful children: Erin, Cara, and Willy. This is my personal blog; the views expressed here are my own.
