The Montana Invasive Species Council (MISC) and Upper Columbia Conservation Commission (UC3) have launched a new website, https://invasivespecies.mt.gov/, which collects in one place the most important resources and information on invasive species for Montana.
Visitors to the site can sign up to receive invasive species news and alerts and view identification guides for all invasive species known to exist in the state, including aquatic species, noxious weeds, pests and diseases, and emerging threats. Also included is contact information for reporting invasive species, educational resources for prevention, and details on state management efforts for various species. The site also serves as the new online home for the Montana Invasive Species Council (MISC) and the Upper Columbia Conservation Commission (UC3).
“Until now, information about invasive species issues in Montana was disseminated across different websites in the state,” said Bryce Christians, MISC Chair. “Pulling these resources together to direct users to the information they seek was identified as an objective in the Montana Invasive Species Framework and this new site accomplishes that goal.”
Christians said the goal of the site was not to recreate existing information but to organize the information in one place to direct resource managers, researchers, citizen scientists and others to the most reliable and accurate information.
