There are several ways to report new infestations of priority invasive plants:

1. If you have access to the internet, the best thing that you can do is log onto the Provincial 'Report-A-Weed' application. The Report-A-Weed-wizard takes you through 3 easy steps to report a suspected new sighting of an invasive alien plant species in BC. Your report will be compared to known locations of the reported species in the Invasive Alien Plant Program (IAPP) application, and then it will be sent directly to a provincial Invasive Plant Specialist for your area. The Specialist may then share this information with the local Weed Committee Coordinator so that the agency/land owner responsible for the infestation can be notified.

2. Sites located on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and the Sunshine Coast can be reported to the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee, by calling the Hotline: 250-857-CIPC

3. Sites located anywhere in British Columbia, can be reported by calling the Invasive Plant Council of BC's hotline: 1-888-WEEDSBC
