New Field Guide to Kentucky’s Invasive Plants!

Tue, 24 Dec 2024 14:23:17 GMT

Invasive plants are non-native plants that cause ecological, environmental, or economic damage. Because they can spread rapidly and take over, forming dense monocultures, invasive plants threaten the diversity and health of forests, prairies, streams, and other natural areas. The goal of this booklet is to introduce some of the most common invasive plants across Kentucky. For each of the species covered here, we provide an overview of basic information regarding identification, impact, and control. This booklet is intended to be a field reference and is far from comprehensive. To purchase printed booklets, email E.Crocker@uky.edu.
