CORTADERIA ALERT

Early Warning Network

It is essential to have a database in order to know where the pampas grass is spreading in areas far from the core area of the invasion if we are to contain the advance of this invasive species.

For this reason, we have expanded the web platform created by the Life STOP Cortaderia Project, in order to collect all the records of the presence of the plant in the Atlantic Arc, and to monitor the removal and restoration actions carried out within the framework of the LIFE COOP Cortaderia project.

Thanks to citizen contributions and the members and collaborators of the Coop Cortaderia LIFE project it is possible to maintain an updated map of the distribution of the pampas grass.

The early alert network will count on the contributions of all those interested in collaborating. Sign up and start entering pampa grass location quotes!

You can also use WhatsApp to tell us where there are pampas grass!

Add our phone number (+34 outside of Spain) to your contacts and send us a photo and the location of any isolated pampas grass plants you find. We know where the large Cortaderia infestations are! You'll help us by locating isolated plants or those in unexpected places.
