Invasives

An invasive species is an organism that is not indigenous or native to a particular area. Invasive species can cause great economic and environmental harm to the new area. But not all non-native species are invasive. To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily. It must reproduce quickly. It must harm property, the economy, or the native plants and animals of the region. This presentation highlights invasive species that are commonly found in southwest Florida. Learn how these animals got here and exactly what makes them harmful to the environment around them!

One of CROW’s Animal Ambassadors will be present.
