Alaska Native Plant Materials Working Group

The Alaska Native Plant Materials Working Group is focused on increasing accessibility to ecologically appropriate native plant materials across Alaska. Originally the group was formed as the Native Seed Committee in 2020, but quickly expanded from that capacity as interest for native plants grew across the state. The group meets monthly to build communication across agencies, identify gaps in information, and assess needs across the state.

Alaska Invasive Species Signage Mapper

Welcome to the invasive species signage mapper! We’ve developed this tool to help identify where you can find invasive species signage in Alaska. Click on the sign icons in the map below to learn details about each signage installation. Please help us expand this database! If you know of an existing sign, please let AKISP know by using the Contact Us form and answering the following questions to the best of your ability: 

  • What is the name of the site? 
  • Where is the site located? Try to provide latitude and longitude.  
  • Please share a photo of the sign.  
  • What year was the sign installed (if this is known)?  
  • What type of messaging is on the sign (e.g., Play Clean Go)? 
  • Who owns the signage, and can you provide a contact? 
  • How was the sign funded? 
  • What company was used to print the sign? 
  • What materials is the sign made of? 
  • Does the content on the sign center on a particular species or environment? If so, which ones?
