Invasive plants are a big problem in Alabama. They spread and aggressively replace native species in natural areas, right-of-ways and residential yards. This causes loss of natural habitat for wildlife and threatens endangered species. YOU can help by removing these plants: Kudzu, Chinese Privet, Mimosa, Wisteria, Japanese Honeysuckle and multiflora rose.
