Invasive plants impact hunting, fishing, boating, gardening, hiking, biking, horseback riding and other recreational activities in the midwest.

Invasive plants are spreading on almost all private and public lands in the Midwest.

• Invasive plants, if left unchecked, will limit many uses on lands now
  and for future generations.
• Invasive plants can harm the natural heritage of our wetlands, prairies,
  forests, lakes, and rivers.
• Invasive plants can decrease your ability to enjoy hunting, fishing,
  mushroom collecting, bird watching, and other recreational pursuits.
• The longer we wait, the more expensive it will be to control invasive
  plants.

You can be a part of the solution by being aware of invasive plants and taking action to prevent their spread.
