In the last few decades knotweeds have gained attention as one of the 100 worst invasive species in the world (Lowe, Browne and Boudjelas 2000). They are included as one of the top ten invasive species for control in BC (Invasive Species Council of British Columbia 2017) and they are high priority species for management in the Metro Vancouver region.

English ivy was introduced to North America during the earliest days of colonialism (Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International, 2018) and has become increasingly problematic in natural and human-altered landscapes throughout the Metro Vancouver region. Ivy spreads vegetatively and by seed and it tolerates a wide range of soil, moisture and light conditions. It is still commonly grown and sold as an ornamental plant and valued for its hardy, attractive, evergreen groundcover. Ivy’s ability to take over forest understories, suppress the growth of native species, and alter the tree canopy makes it a serious invader.

This plant can grow almost anywhere. It spreads by seed (from birds and people spreading berries) and by rooting from stems that touch the ground. As a result, it is one of the most widespread invasive plants in Metro Vancouver.

They were introduced to British Columbia starting in the 1930s as a delicacy for human consumption (BC Frogwatch, 1993). They have since escaped or have been released into natural areas in western North America (SeaGrant, 2020). Their high reproductive rate, limited predation, and ability to thrive in human disturbed habitats have allowed these invasive amphibians to establish and spread quickly (SeaGrant, 2020).

Polygon delineation relied primarily on 2009 orthophoto imagery. An update to that inventory was conducted in 2015-2018 using 2014 imagery. The purpose of the update was primarily to document ecosystem losses over the five-year period (2009-2014). Additionally, the update incorporated new mapping and fieldwork, and made corrections where necessary. Updating the SEI will ensure it continues to be an effective and relevant land use and conservation planning tool for the region.
