Invasive Riparian Weed Online Questionnaire
CABI E-UK is conducting a web-based questionnaire on invasive riparian plant species in Europe. The questionnaire is specifically aimed at land managers, regional government departments and organisations which come into contact with, and/or deal with the control of invasive riparian plants.
It was beyond the scope of this survey to deal with all invasive plant species in Europe, the lists in the questionnaire would have been enormous and the questions many, therefore I have concentrated on riparian weeds. From our work with invasive riparian plants in the UK it is evident that organisations nationwide are committing valuable resources towards the control and prevention of such species on their land, though before now, this has never been quantified on a national or European scale.
The questionnaire contains 41 questions on the presence, extent, control, impact and costs of invasive riparian weeds on your sites and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. The following link takes you directly to the questionnaire http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=BnBEKKh1LH6HG62B5mKPvw_3d_3d
The data collected from this survey will be used solely for research purposes and a summary of the data collected will be made available via the CABI web site www.cabi.org towards the end of 2008. I would be delighted if you would complete the questionnaire in the next 6 weeks, and please do forward it on to other colleagues and organisations.Many thanks for your input.
