Why is it important to control invasive plants?
It is well known that some non-native plant and animal species can become established and out-compete native species and actually reduce or degrade an area’s natural diversity. Non-native invasive weeds are increasingly being recognized as some of the most destructive and rapidly spreading of the invasive species. Some are poisonous, others interfere with agriculture, and still others simply become so numerous, practically nothing else has room left to live!
