If you're out & about in nature this weekend, bookmark this link from NCSU & take it with you - it's their field guide to common wetland plants! A great resource for in-service staff training, too!

Giant salvinia is an invasive #aquaticweed that poses a threat to much of the USA. USDA scientists are testing a naturally-occurring fungus as a method of #biocontrol to stop its growth & spread.

Disaster preparedness also means protecting your boat. Make a plan now to secure your vessel by following recommended safety steps and always remember that it is never safe to remain on or near your boat during a storm.

#ArborDay is celebrated nationally today, but depending on where you live in the #USA, it may be recognized on a different day when native trees are blooming... Today, we salute the cypress trees in the Carolinas.

[South Carolina Aquatic Plant Management Society @scapms79]

It's #EarthDay2026, and we hope you can get out and explore! Working to protect our natural areas is a priority for #SCAPMS, and since it's also #nativeplantmonth, we are celebrating TWICE!

Wishing everyone a wonderful #earthmonth and #nativeplantmonth as we work together for a better planet!
