Mission & History

Our Mission

​The NC-IPC is a state chapter of the Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council, a non-profit group which was established in 2002.
NC-IPC facilitates solutions to problems caused by invasive plants.  Our active membership includes public and private land managers, ecological consultants and researchers, planners, volunteer stewards, and concerned citizens.  We:

  • Provide focus for issues and concerns regarding exotic pest plants in North Carolina;
  • Facilitate communication and the exchange of information regarding all aspects of exotic pest plant control and management;
  • Provide a forum where all interested parties may participate in meetings and share in the benefits from the information generated by Council;
  • Promote public understanding regarding exotic pest plants and their control;
  • Serve as an advisory council regarding funding, research, management, and control of exotic pest plants;
  • Facilitate action campaigns to monitor and control exotic pest plants in North Carolina;
  • Review incipient and potential pest plant management problems and activities and provide relevant information to interested parties.
