AKEPIC

The Alaska Exotic Plants Information Clearinghouse (AKEPIC) is a database and mapping application that provide geospatial information for non-native plant species in Alaska and the Yukon Territory. These products are the result of an ongoing cooperation between the United States Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Alaska Natural Heritage Program in support of the Alaska Committee for Noxious and Invasive Plants Management (CNIPM) and the Strategic Plan for Noxious and Invasive Plants Management in Alaska. The Alaska Natural Heritage Program administers the mapping application, database and website associated with the project. These data are primarily intended to support identification of problem species and areas requiring particular attention; thus promoting early detection and rapid response across Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Additionally, these data are used in a variety of research and modeling activities.
