The ecological and economic impacts of the most prevalent invasive species in North America are staggering. Large or small, on land or in water, invasive animals and plants require focused attention across the continent. In order to manage them properly, an all-hands-on-deck approach is needed from both professionals and citizen scientists. It is also essential to have an informed populace with the identification skills and basic management know-how. This informative resource features crisp illustrations of over 90 of North America’s most destructive species of invasive birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and plants. For each species, there are notes on key field marks, method of introduction, and methods of control. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is an essential resource for educators, learners, homeowners, gardeners, and land-management professionals who want to do their part to stop the spread of invasives for the sake of ecological and economic health. Made in the USA.
