CIFA (California Invasive Plant Council)

The California Invasive Plant Council (CIFA) is an organization focused on addressing the challenges posed by invasive plant species in California. These are non-native plants that can harm local ecosystems, agriculture, and natural habitats by outcompeting native species. CIFA works to educate the public, promote sustainable land management practices, conduct research, and support policies that help protect California's diverse environments. By raising awareness and providing resources, CIFA aims to conserve native flora and the ecosystems that depend on them, ultimately preserving the state's natural heritage.
