Welcome to the Home of California's Early Detection Networks |
|
California EDN is a network of networks protecting California from harmful invasive plants. We are a partnership that works to advance the development of systematic and transparent EDRR networks across California and beyond.
As the umbrella organization for California's emerging regional Early Detection Networks, California EDN promotes the formation and supports the success of multi-county regional early detection networks. Regional EDNs bring together regional land managers, invasive species experts, and concerned citizens to coordinate Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) to infestations of invasive plants. This "stitch-in-time" approach prevents the environmental and economic damage caused by these invaders; educates citizens regarding natural resource stewardship; and dramatically reduces the need for the planning and resources required to control large, established invasive plant populations.
Please join us in this effort! California needs your leadership and your expertise, whether you are simply reporting a single detection, or are a leader in your local Early Detection Network.
Here are a few steps you can take to help California EDN succeed:
- First, sign on to the email list for news and information.
- Second, work with California EDN to build an effective Early Detection Network serving your region.
- Third, use the occurrence reporting tool to report important infestations.
Your help can really make a difference!
