Tool

CalWeedMapper

CalWeedMapper gives natural resource managers and others a way to generate maps and reports of invasive plant distribution in California.

Information from the site can help decision makers identify management opportunities at various scales. Users can view current ranges of a variety of invasive plants, and projected suitable range for the same plants in 2050. The site also encourages users to contribute observations of plant occurrences so it can maintain up-to-date species distribution data for the entire state.
