Description
About this project The Copper River Watershed Project (CRWP) is mapping, monitoring, and treating invasive plants across the Copper River watershed to help prevent the spread into our pristine ecosystem. Project goal Learn more about invasive plants in the Copper River watershed and the work the CRWP is doing to manage them. What participants do Help the Copper River Watershed Project track and remove invasive plant populations by reporting new sightings. One of the main programs at the CRWP is the Invasive Plant Program. Since 2010 staff have been mapping, monitoring, and treating invasive plants across the Copper River watershed. Explore this dataset to learn more about where, when, and which species have been monitored and treated over the last decade. We also want your help! The Copper River watershed is large (26,500 square miles) and we're asking for your assistance in tracking new infestations of invasive pants. If you see invasive plants use this project to report which species it is and where you found it. Please include a picture if possible. Our high priority invasive plant targets are reed canarygrass, orange hawkweed, bird vetch, white sweetclover, and oxeye daisy. For more information visit our website.

Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,087 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
Anecdata is a free online citizen science platform developed by the Community Lab at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. Anecdata is used by hundreds of individuals and organizations to gather and access citizen science observations and provides a platform to easily collect, manage, and share their citizen science data. How Anecdata works: Project managers create projects, creating datasheets that participants fill out to share their observations. Participants join projects and use the Anecdata website or mobile app to share their observations with the project. Project data is now available for anyone to view and download!
