[MAIPC] New invasive/waifs

[Ossi, Damien (DOEE)]

Italian arum is fairly well reported on iNaturalist in our area.  Can the reports on iNaturalist be integrated into EDDMaps?

Black poplar not so much.

Hello- we’ve been tracking a few species in the last few years but are wondering if they are on anyone else’s radar.

1) Italian arum (Arum italicum). More easily seen in late winter/early spring, it would be great if folks could add their sightings to eddmaps. So far we’ve really only seen it within sight of houses, but it seems to be spreading

2) black poplar (Populus nigra). We First noticed it a couple of years ago within a disturbed natural area, and have since seen it in two more locations. It would be great if folks could put occurrence data of this one in eddmaps too.

Thanks!
