Missouri’s Invasion An Attack on our Landscapes by Invasive Exotic Plant Species A call for collaboration, engagement and ACTION. An introduction by: Bill Ruppert, Organizing Member Missouri Invasive Exotic Plant Species Task Force Grow Native! is a native plant marketing and education program of the Missouri Prairie Foundation serving to protect and restore biodiversity by increasing conservation awareness of native plants and their effective use in urban, suburban and rural developed landscapes. 1999 1999 2000-2004 1999 2000-2004 2004-2011 1999 2000-2004 2004-2011 2012- Grow Native! is a native plant marketing and education program of the Missouri Prairie Foundation serving to protect and restore biodiversity by increasing conservation awareness of native plants and their effective use in urban, suburban and rural developed landscapes. The Missouri Prairie Foundation serves to protect and restore prairie and other native grassland communities through acquisition, management, education, and research.

The Missouri Invasive Exotic Plant Species Task Force (MIEPSTF) Housed and administered by Grow Native!, a native plant education and marketing program of the Missouri Prairie Foundation. PURPOSE: working as a united, supportive front, the MIEPSTF reviews, discusses and recommends educational and regulatory action related to managing known and potential non-native invasive plant species that negatively impact natural communities and built landscape in Missouri and elsewhere in the lower Midwest.

VISION: to ultimately transition the Task Force to a permanent Missouri Invasive Exotic Plant Species Council.
