Invasive Plants
WHAT ARE THEY?
Invasive plants are non-native species that are able to quickly establish and flourish in new areas due to a competitive ability over other vegetation. Invasive plants are non-native and can quickly form extensive and dense infestations.
Invasive species are the second greatest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss
They are a global problem, a Canadian problem, and a British Columbia problem. Understanding their negative impacts on our environment, economy, and health, is a good first step in taking action to stop their spread.
