MIPN Publications
The Midwest Invasive Plant Network is now accepting pre-orders for 'A Field Guide to Invasive Plants of the Midwest'. This guide includes color photos, identification information, a map showing range and relative abundance for each species in the region, and information on the ecological threat caused by each species. The species included are 36 of the most widespread and problematic invasive plants in the Midwest. Pre-orders placed before the guide goes to print will be available at the discounted rate of $3/guide. For more information on pre-orders, contact Kate Howe at info at mipn.org. We are nearly sold out of our first printing of “A Field Guide to Invasive Plants of the Midwest”.
Once the guides are gone, the price will
increase from $3/guide to $3.50 for members

"Invasive Plants of the Upper Midwest" An essential resource for land managers, nature lovers, property owners, farmers, landscapers, educators, botanists, foresters, and gardeners. This guide includes more than 250 color photos that will help identify problem trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, sedges, and herbaceous plants (including aquatic invaders). The text offers further details of plant identification; manual, mechanical, biological, and chemical control techniques; information and advice about herbicides; and suggestions for related ecological restoration and community education efforts. Also included are a glossary, a matrix of existing and potential invasive species in the Upper Midwest, an index with both scientific and common plant names, advice on agencies to contact with questions, and other resources.

Status and Trends in State Invasive Species Policy: 2002-2009 reviews developments in state laws and regulations governing invasive species in eleven states. It finds that invasive species laws and regulations are often fragmented and incomplete and have developed primarily on a species-by-species basis in response to crisis. As a result, they often fail to address potential future invaders or close off known invasion pathways. Fortunately, states have begun regulating invasion pathways and identifying species that may become invasive in the future due to climate change or other factors.
