A group of these Juvenile shrubs in about a 5 sq m area, Yellow box grassy woodland habitat , Distinctive Holly like Leaves around 10cm long + Bright yellow sub-bark (Cambial) layer. Probably the 1st sighting ( ?) Of this Woody weed species for Mt Majura. Treated with Cut n Dab to nip this population in the bud. Can be mapped as a " Treated Woody Weed" species. Most likely spread here in bird droppings. ID. Thanks to BARB. 🙂

Max, can you map them please? certainly not the first sighting on Mt Majura - I treated 1000s in the reserve behind Mackenzie street that was before CNM and Field Maps, along Casuarina trail, in the paddock northeast of the watertank; there is still a large crop east of the summit which I always hoped to tackle: Berberis aquifolium (Oregon Grape)
But I can't get up to the summit anymore...

Hi W, I'd suggest there's no further need to "map" this group, as this CNM sighting is already Integrated into the Fieldmaps database.

Thanks Max. There is certainly a need to (continue to) map this group i.e. Berberis aquifolia whether treated or untreated. I prefer mapping with Field Maps / Treated Weeds; the CNM record is great and a good tool for people who can't map with Field Maps. However, I'm afraid not everyone will check the CNM layer on the Field Maps app - Marty learned yesterday about this CNM layer. I assume when PCS employs a contractor to treat weeds they will tell them to check the CNM layer in addition to Field Maps but I'm not sure...

OK, I get your point... However the Field Maps people need to have a Rethink perhaps about having the CNM data as a Separate layer ? This is not truly integrating all the Mapped Data for Optimum visibility and access, ie. an Overall view of the (weed) species, at a glance, so to speak. I. T. wise not sure what's possible in this regard ? 🙃

hi Max
the CNM data ARE on a separate layer which can be clicked on and off but you need to have the correct Map: in Field Maps go to Invasive Plants (which contains 25 Maps); then go to the map NOT-TREATED WEEDS (all capital letters); once you are in this map go to the Layer icon in the middle of the top bar; the icon should have a point in the lowest layer shown on this Icon; click on the Icon; scroll down the layers to "NatureMapr Invasive Plants CNM" and click it on; red diamonds appear on your map: these are all CNM records of invasive plants; click on one diamond and it will open the CNM record that is represented by the diamond. If you are interested to adopt the tool I suggest to put a time aside for a practice session.
