Management and Control of Invasive Alien Plants in KwaZulu-Natal: A Field Guide (4th Edition)

Management and Control of Invasive Alien Plants in KwaZulu-Natal: A Field Guide is a practical and highly useful reference for conservationists, environmental practitioners, farmers, gardeners, students, and anyone involved in biodiversity management in South Africa. Produced by the Alien Invader Plants Project of WESSA-KZN and revised by Eden Wildy, this fourth edition provides an accessible guide to the identification, management, and control of invasive alien plant species found throughout KwaZulu-Natal.

Designed as a field companion, Management and Control of Invasive Alien Plants features concise descriptions and botanical illustrations to assist with the accurate identification of invasive plants. It also offers practical guidance on appropriate control methods, making it an invaluable resource for landowners, municipal environmental departments, conservation organisations, agricultural professionals, and volunteers involved in alien vegetation management. The publication reflects the growing importance of protecting indigenous ecosystems from invasive species and supports responsible environmental stewardship.

This 2005 edition remains a sought-after regional reference because of its practical format and locally focused content. It serves as an excellent addition to collections of South African botany, environmental science, ecology, conservation, agriculture, and natural history literature. Whether used in the field or kept as a reference on the shelf, Management and Control of Invasive Alien Plants provides clear, reliable information relevant to KwaZulu-Natal’s unique flora and conservation challenges.

A useful and increasingly uncommon South African environmental publication that continues to hold relevance for researchers, students, conservationists, and collectors of regional botanical literature.
