What you can do to reduce and eliminate invasive, non-native plants on your property: Spread the word about the threats of invasive plants in Ohio and the benefits provided by native plant communities. Familiarize yourself with the invasive plants in your area and report infestations to the nearest land-managing agency or extension service. Be careful not to gather and transport unidentified seeds which may spread invasive plants. Avoid disturbance to natural areas, including clearing of native plants and dumping of yard wastes. Start early! Early detection and control makes eradication efforts much easier! Volunteer with your local land-managing agency (parks, nature preserves, hiking trails) to help control invasive plants. Plant native or non-invasive plants in your yard and garden; eradicate invasive plants on your property. Encourage nurseries to avoid invasive non-native plants and stock alternative native or non-invasive plant species.
