I'm posting here with Bruce's concurrence. Please share the link as you see fit. - Claire

Greetings!

The Emerald Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon recently
revised the 2002 Invasives list, and now has posted a new list on their
web site: http://www.emeraldnpso.org click on Invasive Plants).

This update was accomplished with the input of a wide variety of
botanists, nursery owners and land managers familiar with vegetation in
the southern Willamette Valley. Note that the list is
ecologically-based, identifying invasive, exotic plants which pose
threats to wildland areas. (It is not a list of garden or agricultural
weeds.)

I thank all of those who participated in this thorough review and
revision, and look forward to your comments for future updates. Please
do not e-mail this group, but address comments to newhouse@efn.org.

Wide dispersal and use of this list in our area is encouraged!

Best,

Bruce Newhouse
