Non-Native Plants of Alaska

AKEPIC
Alaska Exotic Plants Information Clearinghouse

A cooperative project between the USFS State and Private Forestry, the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Alaska Natural Heritage Program and the USGS Alaska Science Center in support of the Alaska Committee for Noxious and Invasive Plants Management (CNIPM) and the Strategic Plan for Noxious and Invasive Plants Management in Alaska. The Alaska Natural Heritage Program administers the database and website for the project.
