Invasive species

Invasive species are plants or animals that don’t naturally live here. They include things like weeds, Indian Myna birds, and rabbits. These species can cause harm to our natural areas and affect:

  • our local wildlife
  • the balance of our ecosystems
  • farming and food production.

Working together to manage invasive species is important to keep our environment healthy. Council is leading a coordinated effort between community and industry to manage invasive species in our region.
