Training offered on iMapInvasives to help Woodstock monitor invasives
Summary
CRISP walked board members through iMapInvasives functions—how to record presence/absence, upload photos and request expert confirmation—and encouraged planning-board members and volunteers to document local infestations.
CRISP staff demonstrated how iMapInvasives can be used to collect field observations, draw polygons for infestations and upload photos for expert confirmation. The presenter explained that iMap records can show confirmed (green) and unconfirmed (round) observations and that iNaturalist imports appear differently.
"iMapInvasives, within it, it it can be used to take observation records," the presenter said, and offered to lead hands-on instruction so board members and volunteers can map local occurrences. The presenter also noted the value of presence/absence records for guiding site-specific recommendations during planning-board reviews.
