Baseline Inventory

The KP-CWMA conducted a baseline invasive plant inventory across the Kenai Peninsula through targeted field surveys. These on-the-ground surveys help identify the extent and pattern of non-native plant invasions on the Kenai Peninsula. The data is available through a statewide non-native plant database, Alaska Exotic Plant Information Clearinghouse (AKEPIC). Through the CWMA, land managers should be able to identify which non-native, invasive plant species have the greatest potential for becoming established and/or spread across the Kenai Peninsula. These species can then be targeted for effective management and eradication efforts.
