What You Can Do to Help IPM

Preventing the spread of invasive plants is critical to protecting the biodiversity of the Park District. We ask all park visitors to observe the following practices while in parkland areas:

  • Start clean, stay clean – clean your shoes before entering and leaving parks to reduce the spread of any invasive plant seeds or soil pathogens
  • Learn to identify invasive plants
  • Map invasive plants with Calflora’s free app, Calflora Observer Pro
    • You can also learn more about plants growing in our region utilizing Calflora’s What Grows Here website.
  • Only plant or remove plants while participating in designated park projects with Park District staff. Learn more about our volunteer programs
