Invasive Species Management

No leaf allowed symbol in dark green.

Why manage invasive species?

Plants classified as invasive species are not native to an area, spread rapidly, and cause harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health.

Invasive infestations can:

  • Destroy or degrade habitat for our native wildlife.
  • Increase the risk of wildfire, erosion, and flooding.
  • Make areas less desirable or accessible for recreation. 
  • Threaten human health and negatively impact local outdoor tourism economy.
