I checked out the invasive species workgroup in Alaska. That's very much what they're talking about for here -- a central info base with volunteers trained to watch for invasives.

The story about the garlic mustard is very similar to what people are doing up here. Report a sighting and then volunteers go out to attempt to eradicate the invasive. I think that this got started with a serious attempt to get people involved in eradicating Purple Loosestrife about 5 years ago. It was getting out of control in our wetlands, so volunteers carry out an eradication program each year on a specific weekend before the plants go to seed. It seems like the effort is working in some regions.
