Plant Sleuth App - About Page

We need your help now!

Created to help identify invasive plant species, the Plant Sleuth App lets users research, locate, identify, and report invasive plant sightings. With the information found with the app, users will learn about damages caused to local ecosystems and the environment and the consequences if a plant is left to grow without any containment measures.

The Plant Sleuth App helps protect fragile environments by educating users with additional invasive species information, like where they originated, what they look like, damage caused by the plant, and how to remove them safely.
