OkIPC Watch List Statement of Purpose

In addition to the Dirty Dozen List of Unwanted Invasive Species, the Oklahoma Invasive Plant Council has created a Watch List of invasive plant species known to be one or more of the following:  

present in Oklahoma and/or a bordering state 
negatively affecting the economy, environment, or human health in Oklahoma and/or a bordering state   
listed as a noxious weed or an aquatic nuisance plant species in Oklahoma and/or a bordering state

This list is to be used to facilitate education and management of invasive plant species in Oklahoma. The Watch List is not a static document and is subject to change as new data become available.
