Description
The Invaders of Texas Citizen Science program collects species observations from volunteers. Volunteers use a kit to detect and report invasive plant species in their local areas.
The Invaders of Texas Citizen Science program collects species observations from volunteer "citizen scientists" trained to use a specially developed Invasive Species Early Detection and Reporting Kit. With this kit, volunteers detect invaders' arrival and dispersal in their own local areas. The purpose of this database is to provide geographical locations and distributional information for known and "potentially" invasive plant species.
