Have You Seen A New Or Unusual Plant Or Pest In Your Area?

If so, you can play an important role in protecting California agriculture and your environment by reporting the sighting of a plant or pest that you suspect may be a new invasive species in your area.

CDFA Has Released This Free, Easy To Use Mobile Application For Californians.
