An important note about pricing. In 2024, Waterford Press began implementing the first price increase since 2016. This change will affect only folding pocket guides priced at $7.95 at this time. The new retail price, at $8.95, is on par with other guides in this format. Many titles have already been printed and are in circulation with the new price. All other $7.95 titles will see the price change as they are reprinted over the next 12-18 months.
The ecological and economic impacts that invasive plants can have on native species and ecosystems are often staggering. In warm, humid Florida, such invasives as Common Water Hyacinth, Japanese Honeysuckle, and Brazilian Peppertree are well known for their destructive impacts. To control invasives, early detection is critical, and this is made possible by having a well-informed public equipped with the necessary identification skills. Those looking to get better acquainted with the most familiar invasive plants in the Sunshine State will find this portable resource beneficial. Beautifully illustrated, this guide features 40 common species, as well as tips for controlling and containing them, including through the application of organic methods where possible. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is an essential resource for educators, learners, naturalists, homeowners, and citizen scientists who wish to do their part to stop the spread of invasive plants in Florida. Made in the USA.
