Invasive plants are non-native species that spread aggressively, outcompeting local vegetation and disrupting ecosystems. They can choke out native plants, reduce biodiversity, and harm wildlife habitats. Invasive species like kudzu and wisteria grow rapidly, covering trees and structures, leading to long-term environmental damage. Removing these plants helps restore balance, allowing native species to thrive and improving the health of the land and water.
