Roadside Invasive Species Inventory
During the 2002 field season, staff from the Allegany Forests Project in Maryland conducted a roadside survey of the distribution and abundance of 13 invasive plant species within a matrix forest block in the project area. Geospatially referenced data from 1,113 plots along more than 200 miles of road was collected. Results indicate that Microstegium viminium was the most abundant and widely distributed species, followed by Alliaria petiolata, Ailanthus altissima, and Rosa multiflora. The data will be analyzed further by the Allegany Forests Project staff and used to prioritize threat abatement efforts in the project area.

Model Wetland Restoration Program in Florida
The Florida Lands and Outstanding Waters (FLOW) program is a wetland restoration program for private ranches in the Kissimmee-Okeechobee basin. FLOW provides economic incentives to ranchers to protect and restore hydrologic function while maintaining some level of agricultural productivity and keeping the land in private ownership. The program involves three activities:
FLOW easement language
Workshops
Information about the EIN Workshops #1-6, and #7 scheduled to be held in Virginia.
Participating site information
More than twenty-eight conservation areas have participated in the Eastern Invasives Management Network. Here you can find detailed information about many of these conservation areas, including general descriptions and management tools (e.g., conceptual ecological models). Participants of the EIN have included numerous project sites for The Nature Conservancy and many private and public partners such as IPANE, NPS, DRIPP, DOD, DNR, and land trusts.

The Florida Lands and Outstanding Waters (FLOW) program is a wetland restoration program for private ranches in the Kissimmee-Okeechobee basin. FLOW provides economic incentives to ranchers to protect and restore hydrologic function while maintaining some level of agricultural productivity and keeping the land in private ownership. The program involves three activities:
- Purchase of a conservation and flowage easement over targeted areas,
- Hydrologic restoration of the wetlands within the easement according to a mutually agreed upon restoration plan, and
- Development of a management program and agreement that would improve the ecological benefits of the restoration and compensate the landowner for management activities.
