            The Invasive Alien Plant Program
            (IAPP) Application


The Invasive Alien Plant Program (IAPP) Application is the database for invasive plant data in BC. It is intended to co-ordinate/share information generated by various agencies and non-government organizations involved in invasive plant management. The application has been developed to allow the entry, edit and query of invasive plant information including: site details; invasive plant inventory information; planning; treatment methods and data; and, monitoring data.

The Invasive Alien Plant Program (IAPP) Application has two components, the Data Entry module and the Map Display module.
