Invasive Species PowerPoint

Widewater State Park, like all parks, has a number of invasive species.  The follow powerpoint is done to provide an overview of some of the native species that can be found in the park as well as some of the highest priority invasive species as well as those that are high on the watch list.  This listed as the watch list have been found in other areas nearby and are of high concern for Widewater.  Once species was listed as non-native so that those viewing the powerpoint can be introduced to species that are not native, but not as damaging as an invasive.  Ultimately this Powerpoint was created with park staff, volunteers, and visitors in mind so they may be educated and serve as additional eyes in the field.  This powerpoint could be expanded to be more comprehensive to  provide more written detail, images, and more invasives.  It could also be printed as a small book or modified for posters or brochures in the park.
