Working to stem the flood of exotic plant species entering the United States
|
ESCP Mission
Our mission is to protect natural ecosystems and human communities from
threats posed by exotic, invasive plant species. Stopping the import and sale of
new invasive exotic species is a critical step in achieving this goal.
ESCP works to…
• End the import of reproductive, invasive exotic plants into the
United States
• Raise awareness of costs to governments, businesses and native
ecosystems
• Encourage informed, responsible action among public and private
landowners
• Remedy the impacts of invasive exotics on native ecosystems in the Pacific
Northwest
