Here's the Buzz on TIS!

     Plants, animals, and pathogens adapt over long periods of time to survive their surrounding habitat.  When human interaction results in the introduction of these organisms into new habitats, they become known as non-native or introduced.  Introduced species do not always have a negative impact on native habitat; in some cases, they can be beneficial to an ecosystem.  But when they exploit the lack of natural predators and competitors in a habitat, it can be disastrous.  Non-native species that negatively affect our environment, economy or health are known as invasive.

     Invasive plants can create a landscape lacking of biodiversity which lowers the efficiency of many ecological processes important for our natural resources.  In order to prioritize the control of these invasive species, the Wisconsin DNR has categorized the invasive plants discovered in the state under a "Prohibited" or "Restricted" status.  Prohibited plants are invasive species that are not yet established in the state but have the potential to spread if not controlled quickly.  Restricted plants are invasive species that are already established in parts or throughout Wisconsin and should be controlled if possible.  In order to protect the state of Wisconsin’s natural resources and native wildlife, it is essential we work together to stop the spread of invasive species.

​Oh, No,
​Not Knotweed!

Grows rapidly. 
Nearly impossible to kill.
​Terrorized England.
​Now all over my American backyard.
