Invasive Species

Invasive species are non-native plants, animals, and insects that were introduced without their natural predators and pathogens that help to keep them under control in their native habitats.

Negative effects of invasive species:

  • Spread aggressively and take over the natural environment.
  • Push out native plants, including endangered species, and destroy habitat for fish, birds and other wildlife.
  • Cause erosion and silt problems in creeks and impact aquatic creatures.
  • Are expensive to control and eradicate.
  • Result in destruction of property such as driveways, buildings, lawns, and garden beds.
  • Some, like Giant Hogweed, are dangerous to human health.
