About Us

Hello! I’m Dr. Miranda Faulkner, the founder of the Ludwigia Peploides Resource Center. I hold a Ph.D. in Plant Biology and have spent over a decade researching aquatic plant species, especially those that are invasive. My passion lies in educating others about the complexities of plant ecology and the critical role of effective species management.

Our Mission

At the Ludwigia Peploides Resource Center, our mission is clear: we aim to enhance the understanding of Ludwigia peploides, commonly known as creeping water primrose. We provide accurate, accessible information that empowers ecologists, students, and land managers. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions in managing and restoring impacted habitats, ultimately fostering ecological health and biodiversity!

What We Offer

We offer a wide range of resources to support your learning and practice in managing invasive species. Our materials include:

  • Detailed research summaries
  • Identification guides
  • Habitat impact analyses
  • Effective management strategies

Whether you’re an ecologist, student, or land manager, we have something for you! Our resources are designed to help you control invasive species and restore ecological balance.

Our History

The Ludwigia Peploides Resource Center was founded out of a growing need for specialized educational resources concerning the biology and management of Ludwigia peploides. Recognizing the invasive nature of this species and its negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems, I wanted to create a platform where vital information and research findings could be shared.

Since our founding, we have become a trusted source for ecologists, students, and land managers alike. Our commitment to continually expanding our resources supports effective habitat management and restoration efforts, making a real difference in our ecosystems!
