1. Does the weeds listserve and web site help?
From: Beth Duris (bduris(at)tnc.org)
Beth Duris (Home office) contacted me and said she is writing a piece for
the Natural Assets newsletter. This time the theme is Information Systems.
She was wondering if anyone on this list has a nice anecdote about how the
weed listserve or web site has been helpful to site managers.
Contact her--it will make me look good -- Barry :)

2. Weed-eating goats
From: Brian Martin (bmartin(at)tnc.org)
I recently attended a workshop in which goats were highlighted as an
outstanding control mechanism for spotted knapweed. Is there a history of
using goats as a mechanical control of noxious weeds on any of our
preserves or in our project areas? Most of western Montana's grasslands
are now dominated by spotted knapweed and sulfur cinquefoil making
chemical control less of an option. Any information appreciated on
reduction to weeds and damage to non-target species.
