Welcome to the
Pennsylvania iMapInvasives Homepage
iMapInvasives is an online reporting and data management tool used to track invasive species.
The goal of our program is to assist natural resource professionals and citizen scientists by advancing
their knowledge of species distributions across Pennsylvania and to provide a tool
which stores both location and management details.
