About This Blog

Hello and welcome to the Chattahoochee River NRA Science and Resource Management (SRM) Blog. Facts, trivia, photos and random bits of natural resource-focused information will be posted as it occurs, transpires, arises, befalls, ensues, or becomes a plain ol' nuisance. Postings will include the fabulous, the interesting, the unusual and the ugly. For instance we will post photos of spring ephemerals as they come into bloom in the park. Or an interesting animal caught on camera. Or, we may post current E. coli levels, sewage spills, and stream bank erosion. Stay updated on the news and natural phenomenon of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.

Introducing EXOT CRNRA's New Invasive Plant Eradication Protocol.

October 31, 2013 Posted by: Rudy Evenson and Paula Capece

This post links to a .pdf report on the park's new method for determining when, where, and how to attack invasive plant infestations. Volunteers and park staff will use GPS units to create a database of treatment areas, including location, species, treatment method and date, and resources threatened by the infestation. The database will then be used to prioritize and schedule treatments parkwide.
