The Invasive Plant Strategy for British Columbia was developed in 2003 from input from a wide range of interests including government, First Nations, non-government, industry, user groups, and utilities. The strategy was developed by: BC Cattlemen’s Association; First Nations; Fraser Basin Council; Integrated Vegetation Management Association of BC; Ministry of Agriculture; Ministry of Forests; Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection; Regional Weed Committees; and Union of BC Municipalities.

The goal of the strategy is to build cooperation and coordination to protect BC’s environment and minimize negative social and economic impacts caused by the introduction, establishment and spread of invasive alien plants.
