Invasive Species

Non-native invasive species are one of the biggest threats to our area. An invasive plant infestation can completely change our landscape by out-competing native species, reducing biodiversity, and disrupting the natural beauty we all enjoy. HCLT works to be proactive about controlling invasive species on HCLT protected lands and works with other organizations like the Coalition for Non-native Invasive Plant Management to educate the community about invasive prevention and management.
