Southwest Exotic Plant Mapping Program (SWEMP)
The Southwest Exotic Plant Mapping Program (SWEMP) is designed to develop a regional database of
exotic plant distributions for the southwest (which consists of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado
Plateau portions of Utah and Colorado). The purpose of this project is to develop and distribute
information on exotic plant species distributions, as well as to provide information on the status
of exotic species distributions on the Colorado Plateau, and the greater southwest. This is accomplished
through a network of collaborative partnerships that contribute to data collection, compilation, and
distribution. To find out more about SWEMP and how you may be able to participate in the program, go to
