Program
Invasive plants represent a significant threat to the ecology and economy of the United States. They degrade millions of acres of critical wildlife habitat and cause billions of dollars in damage to farms and ranches each year. They can outcompete native species, alter food chains, and reduce biodiversity. NFWF sought to prevent, detect, or control invasive and noxious plants through a coordinated program of public/private partnerships. It also aimed to increase public awareness of the adverse impacts of invasive and noxious plants.
