Conclusion

While working with the "Outsmarting Invasive Species" application on the South Shore, I was able to pinpoint the approximate locations of many invasive plants and arthropods in my local area.

It is my hope that this information will be used to combat the spread of some of these species in the future. In the meantime, I will continue to use OIS, along with Flora Incognita and INaturalist, to pinpoint invasive species where it is most important: state parks like the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton!
