The purpose of the Georgia EPPC is to focus attention on:

» the adverse effects exotic pest plants have on the diversity of Georgia's native plants and animals;
» the use of exotic pest plant management to prevent habitat loss;
» the socioeconomic impacts of these plants;
» changes in the seriousness of the different exotic pest plants over time
» the need to exchange information which helps land owners and managers set priorities for exotic pest plant management.
