Play Clean Go: Stop Invasive Species in Your Tracks
Interagency partners in Minnesota have launched PlayCleanGo, an education and outreach campaign for outdoor recreationalists. The goal is to encourage outdoor recreation while protecting valuable natural resources. The objective is to slow or stop the spread of terrestrial invasive species (those that occur on land) through changes in public behavior.

Online Native Plant Center Helps Chesapeake Bay (Jun 13, 2011)
A new tool to help citizens in the Chesapeake Bay watershed select native plants is now available. Users of the portal, Native Plant Center can search for native plants by name, plant type, sun exposure, soil texture and moisture, and even find native plants with the same shape, color, size or other characteristics as some of their favorite non-native plants. The site also includes a geo-locator feature to identify plants suited to a user's specific location. For more information, see the Chesapeake Bay Field Office.

Citizen Scientist Program's Success Highlighted (Jun 1, 2011)
A program that harnesses volunteers throughout Texas to collect conservation data has been highlighted as a model citizen scientist program in the June issue of the journal Bioscience. More than 1,100 Texans have been trained by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center's Invaders of Texas Citizen Scientists Program to identify and report non-native invasive plants throughout the state. These citizen scientists have logged more than 12,000 observations of invasive plants on a publicly accessible online database that governmental agencies and resource managers can use to monitor the plants that compete with native plants.
