In a Nutshell

OC CNPS’ Emergent Invasives Management Program targets highly invasive plants that cause significant problems in other places. We look for newly discovered, small, populations in OC. Such populations have the greatest potential for being quickly removed and prevented from spreading. This strategy is called, Early Detection – Rapid Response.

The Plants

  1. Known Locations and Status Updates
  2. Have You Seen These Plants? (Known to have entered OC)
  3. Watch List Species (High risk species, but have not been seen here yet.)
