Nice!  What’s Invasive is listed as a Staff Favorite in the iTunes App Store.  I guess that means we’ll have to bite our tongues the next time we get an App Store rejection.

In case you missed it, our What’s Invasive iPhone app was released to the public last week.  If you live near Los Angeles and enjoy the outdoors it’s a must-download.  Also it looks like we’ll be working on a nationwide version of  What’s Invasive, so watch for that.

Helping Out the Ecologists

It’s been a while since we’ve posted on the blog, but we’ve been really busy with a few interesting projects.  One of them, “What’s Invasive”, has just been released in the App Store after a lengthy review from Apple.  In collaboration with CENS and the Santa Monica Mountains National Reserve, we created an iPhone app that enables visitors to easily document invasive plants in the park.  The geo-tagged photos captured by users go directly to the invasive plant management group at the park so it can decide how to best handle the infestation.  The mapped data is also available to the public.  Also, check out the press our beta version got in National Geographic.
