Identify Invasive Plants

Caring for green school grounds

Invasive plants are non-native species that dominate native species in natural areas. Through education and action, students can help reduce the spread of these plants.

Tips:

• Research and identify the common invasive species in your region, and educate your school community about them. Create “Most Wanted” posters of common “invasives.”
• Do your best to remove invasive plants on or near your school grounds, or volunteer to help out at local conservation areas.
