Why do we need your help? Invasive plant species continue to move into our region at an alarming rate. Without the action of residents, there are not enough resources to battle the threat. Heightened public knowledge about identification and management of invasive species can lead to more effective removal of invasive plants and restoration of native plant communities.

This project is made possible through the support of the Columbia Basin Trust and the Community Foundation of the Kootenay Rockies.
