<div dir="ltr">I've documented early occurrences of this in Durham, NC, with one homeowner diligently eliminating it from his property and another refusing to do anything, virtually ensuring its eventual spread. Made a few efforts to get it listed, in case that would help, but it's hard. It's like climate change or Burmese pythons in the Everglades. The system needs proof that it's a problem before they'll take action, at which point the problem is advanced.<div><br></div><div>In NJ, where it paves floodplains in spring, it's still worth monitoring and spot spraying in watersheds where it's just starting to invade.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Marc,<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have attached the draft for the Lesser Celandine action alert. I used the Japanese Stiltgrass action alert as a draft and just altered it to be specific for lesser celandine. I still have to change the picture in the alert from Stiltgrass
to Lesser Celandine, I am waiting to see it in the field so i can take my own picture. I also added a part about how the Japanese Stiltgrass action alert was a success, but I was not exactly sure what I should say, so if you think there is a better way to
write/or improve that paragraph let me know. <u></u><u></u></p>
