How to Prevent the Spread of Invasive Species
You can stop the spread of invasive species and prevent the establishment of new invasives.
Educate yourself, your family, and your neighbors.
When on outings, share your knowledge with your family. Teach them how to identify invasive species and how to avoid spreading them.
Let your neighborhood organization or your local invasive species experts know about local infestations and discuss management options.
Let your local nursery grower know about your concerns about invasive species. Some plants are marketed as “bird friendly” or “attractive to pollinators” even if they’re nonnative, and have the potential to become invasive. Research the species name to determine if it is native to your area before planting.
