NATIVE & INVASIVE PLANTS

Controlling the growth of invasive plants is one of the most critical steps in protecting wildlife habitat. We lead projects to control invasive plants on the lands we steward and plant only native trees in our canopy enhancement initiatives. Use the links below for resources on how to control invasive plants and choose the best native plants for your yard.
