NEWS UPDATE |

Three million acres of American land is lost each year to invasive plants or weeds! They are choking out and destroying some of America’s most valuable bird and wildlife habitat. Invasive species rank as the number one threat to the 95-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System according to Audubon. As plants have evolved and moved around over time, they have adapted to the new community of plants and animals. Most plants have numerous insects or other animals that feed on them and various disease organisms that keep |
|
them from overpopulating their native homeland. When these plants are moved to a new region without these predators and diseases, they are given the opportunity to spread unchecked. Learn to identify the most troublesome weeds in your area and start controlling them before they take over.
