BC's Most UNwanted:
According to the Invasive Species Council of BC:
"Wildfires and flooding help clear the way for invasive species to spread their seeds further and more aggresively...these extreme events also wipe out work done to remove invasive species and restore habitats to their nature states. Some invasive plants can even power up a wildfire, literally adding fuel to the fire due to their naturally flammable qualities."
What can we do?
- IDENTIFY: Learn to identify invasive species in your area
- REPORT: Report invasive species and infestations to your local government
- PLAY YOUR PART: Stop the spread with best practices of the Play, Clean, Go initiative.
