The Pennsylvania iMapInvasives database is a clearinghouse for invasive species location-based information. The database is intended to be useful to many different types of people including citizen scientists, natural resource managers, volunteers, educators, state administrators, and others. It houses different information types including observations, assessments, surveys, and treatments, all of which are viewable on an interactive map. As the PA iMapInvasives database continues to grow, it will become very useful in early detection rapid response efforts, enabling users to see new and incoming threats into the state or local area. Land managers will be able to use the database’s information to make management decisions and prioritize efforts based on species distribution. The database is managed by the staff at the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program who review all information that is submitted to iMap. PA iMapInvasives is a member of the iMapInvasives network of states/provinces, which share a common web platform.
