TAMPA, FL - September 7, 2005 - Shooting Stars Post, Inc. (SSP), the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) and the Hillsborough Cooperative Extension Service have combined their efforts to educate homeowners on identifying and removing invasive trees, shrubs and vines from their homes.

SSP helped produce "Wicked Weeds," a 20-minute video that provides identification tips for commonly found invasive plants in the Tampa Bay area, including Brazilian pepper, air potato, skunk vine and carrotwood.

"We enjoyed the opportunity to help educate the community on how to make Tampa Bay a more beautiful place to live," said John Samaha, president of SSP. "These education initiatives play an important role in maintaining and protecting a healthy and diverse environment."

The video provides step-by-step demonstrations on how to identify and remove invasive plants from yards and landscapes. If not done properly, these plants can spread seeds to nearby land where they can quickly take over surrounding natural areas.

The video is available in VHS or DVD format and may be borrowed for up to one month for free. In addition, TBEP will pay for all postage fees. To borrow "Wicked Weeds," contact Nanette Holland, public outreach coordinator for the TBEP, at nanette@tbep.org, and provide your name, address and phone number.

More than a digital production firm, SSP has an 8,000 square foot facility located at 3106 W. North A Street, Tampa, FL 33609, with more than 4,000 square feet of studio space, top-of-the-line digital recording and editing gear, and complete in-house production capabilities.
