Tumbleweeds, symbols of the Wild West, are actually invasive species called Russian thistle (Salsola pestifer). They are very difficult to control and serve as sharp reminders to stop the spread of #InvasiveSpecies. For example, clean vehicles and outdoor gear before travelling.

For #NISAW we thought we should go over the basics! Here's a great article from Audubon breaking down the difference between native, non-native, and #InvasiveSpecies . https://t.co/w8hjUuE3xx

Cortaderia selloana (Pampas grass) may be extending seasonal allergies in areas where it is invasive. Just another reason to avoid planting this harmful grass! https://t.co/g7SbZ05VyQ

Great article on the invasive plant management going on in Angeles National Forest. Some of the targets are key plants from the #PlantRight list such as tamrisk, giant reed, and broom. #InvasiveSpecies
