Range Information

The map below depicts both the native and invasive ranges of variable-leaf milfoil in Pennsylvania, displayed using a HUC 12 watershed layer.

*Note that Erie and Fayette counties contain both native and invasive populations of this species (hence why they appear as both blue and pink on the map).

Data used to create this map was provided by the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program and Pennsylvania's Field Guide to Aquatic Invasive Species (2015).
