1. EIN Workshop #6, last hurrah!
From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu)
By now you should have received your CD containing materials from the EIN
Workshop #6.If you didn't, contact me.
For the most part, this listserve will enter dormancy until the next meeting
approaches. If you want to be removed from the listserve, please contact me.

2. A loss to TNC
From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu
I have learned that our own fabulous Beth Bockoven will be leaving TNC. This
is a serious blow to our network, and to invasive species work in the
Eastern USA. What a drag! Beth's last day is February 2, so you still have
time to email her your regards. Maybe she'll be at a future workshops as
partner staff? Beth's email is bethbockoven(at)tnc.org.

3. GISI Brochure available
From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu)
The Global Invasive Species Initiative has created a brochure describing
TNC's invasive species efforts; you can preview it here:

If TNC staff would like me to send you copies of this brochure, email me
with how many you'd like, and your shipping address.

5. Calamagrostis epigeios in Massachusetts
From: Tim Simmons (tim.simmons(at)state.ma.us)
We are seeing Calamagrostis epigeios (chee reedgrass) spread in some managed
grasslands and in some former cranberry bogs. It is not on the Plateau label
and I contacted the manufacturers about experience with control. They had no
leads. Do you know if it is also becoming a problem elsewhere or if anyone
has attempted control?

6. Invasive species recipe competition!
From: Joe Franke (consed(at)sbcglobal.net)
Bradford Street Press has announced, in preparation for compiling the second
edition of the Invasive Species Cookbook, a recipe contest. Prizes will
include free copies of the book, "if you can't beat 'em, eat 'em" tee
shirts, and the grand prize, a trip to the exotic location of your choice
with Sir David Attenborough (well, no, actually it's a copy of the book AND
a tee shirt, sorry).
We're particularly interested in recipes that utilize species presently not
in the book, and adaptations of classic recipes that use those already
included in a novel way. To see more about the book and to make
submissions, go to <http://www.bradfordstreetpress.com>
www.bradfordstreetpress.com
Our judges will be trying these in our own test kitchen, unless the recipe
calls for something really difficult to obtain. Brown tree snakes for
instance. We'll announce the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in the spring of
'07)
