WeedsBMP

A tool for the identification and management of invasive plants in BC

The WeedsBMP app was developed as a management tool for livestock and forage producers in BC to successfully identify and manage invasive plants to minimize impacts on operations. WeedsBMP includes identification and management information for 95 invasive plants. Users can search the app by common name, scientific name, and by flower colour to correctly identify an invasive plant and learn how to manage it. The plants are divided into two groups: 1) grasses, sedges and rushes; and 2) broad leaf plants. For each species, detailed information is provided on identification, habitat and ecology, impacts, and management options. WeedsBMP also includes a summary of provincial and regional invasive plant contacts from across the province.
