America's National Wildlife Refuges are being threatened and impacted by invasive plants.
For refuge managers, these troublesome plants present a complex challenge that demands many resources and long-term attention.
One of a refuge's most valuable resources for addressing invasive plant problems is the dedication of volunteers. Across the country, refuge volunteers are learning about invasive plants and lending a hand in management activities such as prevention, early detection, control, restoration, and outreach.
It's all about Volunteers:
