launch of iMapInvasives 3.0!

Hello everyone,

The iMapInvasives database has greatly benefited from your contributions through iNaturalist, and as an important part of our invasive species network I wanted to invite you all to explore the new iMapInvasives 3.0 which officially launched last week! I also wanted to let you know that I will not be able to upload your iNaturalist sightings to iMapInvasives for some weeks, as the admin upload tools are still in development. If you think you've found a high priority invasive species, you can report it to the Oregon Invasive Species Hotline to get directly in touch with invasive species managers.

iMapInvasives 3.0 is a complete update to the previous platform, and now allows users to report invasive species throughout the US and Canada. The new site is completely responsive to mobile devices so you can peruse data and create records on your smartphone or tablet. Our iMap mobile app is still available for creating records when out of connectivity.

Anyone can peruse the public data in iMap without an account at https://imapinvasives.natureserve.org, but creating a free account unlocks many more features and allows you to create records. If you had an account in the previous version of iMap, you will need to reset your password; please see How to Sign In to iMapInvasives for more guidance.

This is the initial launch of the site, with more features to be launched over the spring and summer including email alerts, queries, and reports. For more information including help documents and FAQs, see imapinvasives.org.

And, of course, keep using iNaturalist if you're happiest making observations here! Your contributions to this project and the Oregon iMapInvasives Collector project will make their way to iMap in time.

Many thanks,
Lindsey Wise
