Resources

Cal-IPC provides several resources to help Californians fight the spread of invasive plants.

Inventory of Invasive Plants

The core of our work, the Inventory categorizes plants that threaten California’s natural areas. View the Inventory, sortable by Jepson region or Habitat Types, or view the A-Z alphabetized gallery of thumbnails.
