Coming Soon—
Three New Sequels

Roadside Control of Invasive Plants

The sequel to Roadside Use of Native Plants (2000) is in the works! Patterned after the first reference, this handbook will also offer essays by experts on the topics of prevention, control, restoration and restoration. The core of the book will be customized for each State containing: each State Weed List, an analysis of State Weed Law, and each States experts and resources to contact. The book is a cooperative effort between the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Highway Administration. All three agencies know that the war on weeds takes place on the ground within each State. We believe this quick reference will make that work easier. Due Spring, 2006.

Alternatives to Invasive Ornamentals

A sequel to Invasive Plants, Weeds of the Global Garden (1996) from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This practical reference will provide alternative plant choices, mostly native, for those invasive trees, shrubs, herbs, and vines we have traditionally planted, but are now considered invasive. We can not afford to spend taxpayer dollars on plants we know do not stay put and can do potential harm to agriculture, natural resources, and/or human health. This book offers thoughtful, well-researched, choices from an author the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Federal Highway Administration in turn chose carefully. The author, Colston Burrell is expert in both horticultural and native plants. Due Spring, 2006

Invasive Plants, Changing the Landscape of America II

Is a forthcoming sequel to what was commonly known as the federal fact book on invasive plants, but named, Invasive Plants, Changing the Landscape of America (1998). Randy Westbrooks and the Federal Interagency Committee for the management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW) are updating the 1998 "facts". This important reference should be available in late 2006.
