INVASIVE PLANTS

Managing Invasive Plants

What to look for, how to decide on a method, and what it takes to keep an area clear once you've cleared it

Invasive plant management is a well-established science. Effective control follows from correctly identifying the plant and understanding how it lives and spreads — it is not guesswork.

Because invasive plants do not respect property lines, successful management requires coordinated, community-wide effort rather than isolated individual actions.
