Pretty Wildflowers?
Think again!
Oxeye daisy is an invasive plant.
"Invasive plants are ecological tumors that won't stay in your yard." - Dr. Doug Tallamy
Noxious Weeds...
Are invasive plant species that are able to establish easily, grow quickly, and spread to the point of disrupting biological communities or ecosystems.
Habitat Transformers
Noxious weeds are known as "habitat transformers" because they change the physical structure and forage availability in habitats, eventually pushing out resident wildlife.
Biodiversity Threat
Invasive non-native species are capable of causing extinctions of native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can result in fundamental disruptions of local ecosystems.
Invasive Species...
Replace native plant communities
Accelerate soil erosion
Degrade water quality
Damage fish & wildlife habitat
Decrease the value of land
Reduce recreation opportunities
Increase trail maintenance costs
