Invasive plants are non-native plants that have been transplanted or have migrated to new areas. Some of these plants contain toxic properties that can be harmful to livestock and wildlife.

It is in everyone's interest to contain the spread of introduced species as, unchecked, they can alter whole ecosystems.
