Information services
The primary function of the Invasive Species Team's web presence is to provide staff of The Nature Conservancy information related to invasive species. Staff members are encouraged to contact the Invasive Species Team core staff if they have weed concerns or questions. Call us or send us email at bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu. While we are based in Davis, California, we will help staff in any branch of The Nature Conservancy.

Unfortunately, we do not have resources to help private contractors, consulting agencies, or private landowners. Our online Management Library has a number of photographs and species management summaries (called "ESAs") that may help you if you fall into one of these categories. Your local Agricultural Extension Agency or Farm Advisor may be able to provide you with additional information. Also, we unfortunately do not have enough resources to help students with their school assignments.

On using our invasive species photographs
We have a large library of invasive species photographs that are usually made available, free of charge, for publications and presentations produced by staff of The Nature Conservancy. We can provide these photographs to other organizations for publication, but usually we charge standard rates for one-time, non-exclusive rights. A sampling of photographs is on-line for viewing. For more details, email us at bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu.

Media contacts
Reporters who would like to discuss weed issues can email us at bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu, and we can talk more on the telephone.
