Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System

• Distribution of Invasive Plants Across the South
• Electronic Early Detection System to Allow for
  More Rapid Responses
• Large Scale Cooperative Management of New
  Invasive Species

History

• No complete distribution data for Southeast
• Holes in USDA PLANTS and now USDA Forest Service
  FIA data
• Some data existed but not compiled in one
  location
• SE-EPPC could provide support for state chapters
• Invasive Plant List justification (Florida model)
• State EPPCs could provide EDRR framework
• Central location for collection and storage of
  data
