Barb now that CNM no longer shows locations I think we should map weeds with Field maps. Perhaps someone has mapped.

I prefer to use Field Maps for invasive plants as this goes to weed management and does not clutter NatureMapr and Atlas of Living Australia.

But sometimes it is a good idea to record the extent of the invasive problem species; for instance the records in CNM, which end up in ALA, are invaluable to document the expansion of Callery Pear. And a photo in CNM which can be referenced in FieldMaps shows the size of the problem at the mapped site.

Agree with Barb. Fieldmap hasn’t callery pear listed and government still plant / promote it. CNM was an option for us to document how a species that has been used as street tree invades nature reserve about 8 years after planting.
