Become a Citizen Scientist

Cattails can be native or non-native, and the native and non-native cattails can hybridize to form cattails that are invasive. Researchers are currently investigating cattail populations to learn how to distinguish the native from the invasive plants. Join citizens across the country in collecting cattail data that will be useful to these scientists. Visit https://nwrcwebapps.cr.usgs.gov/cattail/
