INVASIVE SPECIES
INVASIVE SPECIES CAN BE HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. Some invasive plants have thorns or are toxic to humans and can pose health and safety concerns. All invasive species have the potential to take over existing vegetation!
Overpopulation of an invasive species can strip the environment of essential nutrients and cause disruption of natural ecosystem processes thus deteriorating the ecosystem in an environment.
If a native species is threatened by an invasive species, the native species can become extinct. An estimated 42% of the species currently on the federal Endangered Species Act list are imperiled at some degree because of some harm caused by an invasive species. Not only are invasive plants often unsightly they can be dangerous to the longevity of your environments biodiversity.
