To register for the meeting go to:

ALL PARTICIPANTS, INCLUDING PARTNERS AND SPEAKERS, MUST REGISTER BY
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2003. Project leads should make sure that their
partners are registered by the deadline. Registration will act as your

The workshop will focus on implementing strategies for abating invasive
plant threats, and measuring the success of those strategies using
guidelines developed by the Conservancy's Measures and Audits Team.

2. Updates to Eastern Invasives Network Web Site
From: Chris Wilson (christa_wilson(at)tnc.org)

(My shame: Chris Wilson sent this message to me back in early December,
and I MISPLACED IT. Here it is, delayed, but still in full glory---Barry)

Greetings Eastern Invasives Networkers:

We have recently updated the Eastern Invasives Network Web site:
http://tnc-ecomanagement.org/Weeds/. The site includes an overview of the
second network workshop, held last September in Massachusetts (see the
Workshops section); threat abatement priorities and strategies developed
by the network's focal landscapes as well as many of the participating
landscapes (see the Site Information section); and information about a
variety of new resources, including a new invasive species database,
results of a roadside invasives inventory conducted by the network's
Allegany Forests Project, and a wetland restoration program in Florida
(see the Resources section).

If you have any questions or comments please contact me via email or at
520-622-3861 x3466.
