Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) to new infestations is critical to the management of invasive plants. To facilitate this strategy on a large scale, the NWIPC has initiated a toll-free invasive plant reporting hotline 1-866-44WEEDS (1-866-449-3337). The hotline is an ongoing public service and remains functional through the winter months. In addition to allowing the public to report invasive plant sites, the hotline is used to request information on invasive plants and related topics, and provide feedback and suggestions on the NWIPC initiatives.

Invasive Alien Plant Program - IAPP

All invasive plant infestations reported through the hotline and assessed by NWIPC representatives are entered into the province-wide IAPP web-based database. This application allows invasive plant sites to be housed within a central database and to be viewed by the public.
