There’s an app for that. New application makes noxious weed identification easy A new iPhone application developed by the City of Edmonton is taking the guesswork out of weed identification. Alberta Weed Spotter is an easy-to-use application designed to help Albertans identify and report weeds to provincial authorities. The application includes all 75 species currently regulated under the Alberta’s Weed Control Act. The goal of the app is to help improve strategic weed management decisions and allow for quicker responses to new weed infestations across the province. “Invasive species spread quickly in urban centres,” says project lead Daniel Laubhann, environmental technician with the city’s neighbourhood, parks and community recreation branch. “Edmonton is the fifth-largest city in Canada and capital of Alberta, so we have a high responsibility to address this issue. “Public awareness is vital to minimize the number of new invasive species and to reduce the
spread of existing weeds.” The application contains images of weeds separated into categories such as flowering, grass-like, and tree or shrub. This will allow Albertans to easily identify weeds they come across and accurately report them to weed managers across the province. For weed complaints, citizens should continue to contact the local authority in their area respon-
sible for municipal weed enforcement. A mobile application to file weed complaints is planned to be implemented in the future. Also in development is an Android-compatible version of the app, as well as plans for the information to be available to residents via open data. The application is available for free download on iTunes.
