Invasive Plant Atlas of the United States

The Invasive Plant Atlas of the United States is a collaborative project between the National Park Service, the University of Georgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health and the Invasive Plant Atlas of New England. The purpose of the Atlas is to assist users with identification, early detection, prevention, and management of invasive plants. The project started out as Weeds Gone Wild: Alien Plant Invaders of Natural Areas, a web-based project of the Plant Conservation Alliance's Alien Plant Working Group, then became WeedUS before becoming the Invasive Plant Atlas of the United States.
