Educational Outreach
The objectives of this TAME component are to:
- Educate land managers and the public about integrated control methods for maleleuca
- Encourage widespread adoption of these methods
- Encourage continued application of integrated tactics for invasive weed management beyond the lifetime of the project
TAME Education Outreach will utilize several strategies to achieve our objectives. These include:
- Conducting field tours of our demonstration sites. These site tours will provide visual, real-world examples of the effects resulting from different Maleleuca control strategies and will be utilized between 2004 and 2006. Site visits can also include hands-on training. To schedule a field tour, contact Michael Meisenburg.
- Systematically videotaping and annually photographing the demonstration areas to document vegetative changes. This visual archive will be used to supplement oral presentations about the project at meetings, conferences and symposia held outside the project area.
- Presenting updates on research findings and program developments at annual symposia such as include the Annual Exotic Plant management Workshop (at the Florida Panther NWR) and the annual conference of Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (at various locations around the state).
- Maintaining this web site.
A complete list of team members is available by going to the Contacts page from the left hand menu.
