Why should we be concerned about the spread of invasive alien species in our area?
Well, there is a multitude of reasons that expand beyond our general predisposed perceptions when it comes to the dangers of non-native plant life “taking root” in our local waters.
This may not seem like a pressing problem TODAY, however, TOMORROW we will suffer from the lack of proactive choices we have made in the past. Let us begin to unravel the complexities of this urgent environmental concern by addressing the impacts of invasive plant species in our communities.
Did you know that invasive plant species not only affect the microcosmic ecosystems of various bodies of water, but it also affects the entire ecosystem as a macrocosm? It creates hazardous and devastating effects on not only plant and animal life, but human life as well!
One aspect of EcoErie’s mission is to reduce the carbon footprint caused by invasive plant species. Help support our mission by visiting following our page, and stay tuned for future events near you!
