Why join us: Invasive plant species can severely disrupt local ecosystems and the local food chain by outcompeting native plant hosts on which certain bird species rely for food and nesting. These invasive plants often grow more rapidly and aggressively, monopolizing resources like sunlight, water, and soil nutrients. As a result, native plants decline, reducing the availability of seeds, fruits, and insects that many native bird and other animal species feed on. This can lead to a decrease in native animal populations, as they struggle to find adequate food and nesting sites. Learn more about how you can garden with wildlife in mind.
