One of the biggest threats to Georgia’s native plants and animals is the spread of exotic plants. Many are capable of destroying native plant and animal communities.

       One way these damaging plants get a foothold is by being planted in backyards across the state.  With this in mind, the Georgia Exotic Plant Council has developed a list of these damaging plants. This valuable publication is available online.  All you have to do to access the list is to Google: List of Non-Native Plants of Georgia.

       If you are concerned about the future of Georgia’s diverse and valuable native plant and animal resources, I urge to you to download this publication today.
