Invasive Exotic Plants and Their Control

Some exotic plants are invasive weeds that form expanding populations on our landscape, making management for timber, wildlife and other benefits a challenge.  These invasive exotic plants can displace native plants and associated wildlife, and can affect fire and water flow.  The rapid and effective dispersal characteristics of these invaders make them extremely difficult to eliminate.  This program will describe some of the more common and troublesome invasive exotic plants in northwest Florida and current methods being used to control them.
