Where are the best places to do research on Cony school grounds? What is there?
Are there invasive species (specifically Japanese knotweed) in our town parks?
Does public access affect the presence of invasive species in a lake?
Are Queen Anne's lace and Japanese knotweed present along roadsides in Aroostook, Cumberland, and Lincoln Counties?
Is there a difference in presence of lupine along roadsides in Mt. Desert and Isle Au Haut?
What native species are found in Portland parks on the edges of mowed areas?
