<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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. In a few parks, it's just starting to invade the lawns.<o:p></o:p></p>

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. <o:p></o:p></p>
