Global Invasive Species Team listserve digest #058 Thu Mar 30 2000 - 17:26:27 PST --CONTENTS-- 1. Help with Asiatic Sand Sedge (Maryland) 2. New York conference on invasive species (New York) 3. Index to listserve discussions on line (Nationwide) --------------------------------------- 1. Help with Asiatic Sand Sedge (Maryland) From: Chris Lea (chris_lea(at)nps.gov) I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has research or management experience with control of Asiatic Sand Sedge (Carex kobomugi), an invasive species of coastal dunes in the mid-Atlantic region. This species is apparently an incipient invader at Assateague Island National Seashore and shows signs that it may rapidly expand. It is featured on a Virginia Native Plant Society/Virginia Division of Natural Heritage invasive plant fact sheet, and we have followed some of those recommendations. ---Larry Morse adds that Kartesz (1999) records Carex kobomugi from several Atlantic Coast states (MA, RI, NJ, MD, VA, and NC). --------------------------------------- 2. New York conference on invasive species (New York) From: Cris Winters (cwinters(at)tnc.org) The Invasive Species Council in New York state is sponsoring a meeting at New York State Museum, 26-29 April, in Albany. To learn more about this conference, look at the conference web page and the conference schedule in particular. Conference main page: http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/nhc.html Conference schedule: http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/nhc_sched.html --------------------------------------- 3. Index to listserve discussions on line (Nationwide) From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu) At the Wildland Invasive Species Team web site you can now view all the postings that have been made to the listserve since it began. The postings are organized and indexed, so if you want to find the previous postings relating to Polygonum cuspidatum, Tools, or Meetings, it is all there for your easy retrieval.
