WORKSHOP: Invasive Species Management (ISM) Track Presenter: Mark Renz, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Are you interested in tracking invasive species management information? If so, ISMTrack may be a solution. ISMTrack is a cloud based software system to help land managers track and summarize invasive species management across sites and over time. ISMTrack is integrated with EDDMapS, a web and app based invasive species reporting system. ISMTrack can be used to track many invasive species management activities including: staffing, treatment method, travel time, volunteer or crew hours, weather conditions, completion dates and other critical information. Data can be shared, downloaded and analyzed to increase efficiency and improve invasive species management by a team and across organizations. The mobile-friendly design also allows for access and entry of data in the field, eliminating the need for office time during the field season. If interested in learning more about this resource (currently available in WI and MN) please attend this workshop. Participants will be introduced to ISMTrack and participate in a hands-on training session that will allow them to setup their land for use of this system.
