The Invasive Plant Atlas of New England (IPANE) is the New England data entry portal for the Early Detection & Distribution Mapping System (EDDMapS), a web-based mapping system for documenting invasive plant distribution and management efforts. The Massachusetts Invasive Plant Advisory Group (MIPAG) encourages citizens and land managers to enter invasive plant data into IPANE, and “Early Detection” priority species listed by MA Invasive Plant Advisory Group in particular, so that we can get a better understanding of the distribution of invasive species and be more strategic in our management efforts. The IPANE data entry form can be found at the IPANE or EDDMapS websites or data can also be entered by using one of two smart phone apps: the IPANE app or the Outsmart Invasives app. On April 8th, IPANE and MIPAG are holding a training webinar from 1:00-2:00pm.
