The threat that invasive species pose to biodiversity has particularly strong implications for islands, according to a new article published by B. Lenzner and colleagues.

Invasive plant seeds could be hiding in your bird seed. Seed mixes with millet have a higher chance of containing weed seed like pigweed & kochia. Do you have a bird feeder? What type of seed do you use? #birds #birdseed #invasiveplants #stopthespread #buylocal #lovelillooet

Creeping and crawling along the forest floor and up trees, this invasive plant covers everything in its path! Take a guess! Leave your comments down below, and visit our blog for the answer: https://t.co/PT3y5IF7lG

If you have time today, it’s a great time to pop by Cariboo Dam at the east end of #BurnabyLake to see the 🐟#salmon. #exploreburnaby

Nope, that's not a beaver! This is a Nutria; a large and invasive rodent, native to South America.
Fortunately there isn't a large established population in BC, however there have been sightings across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

This festive invasive may have gotten you a kiss or two in the past, but it doesn't spread joy in native habitats in BC. English Holly forms dense sharp bushes that out-compete native plants, and their berries are poisonous!

Yellow Loosestrife and Purple Loosestrife are both invasive species found in the Metro Vancouver area. #invasivespecies #invasiveplant #plants #flowers

Make brushing off invasive species part of your family’s outdoor routine! It’s easy! After an adventure, brush off dirt, seeds, and burrs from your clothes, footwear, and pets.

Did you know invasive species are primarily spread by humans? That’s why it's important to be informed and take action to slow the spread!

It’s salmonberry season in the PNW! These edible berries come from the native salmonberry plant and are delicious! #berries #salmonberry #PNW #plants

This week's theme for Invasive Species Action month is "Be a Responsible Pet Owner" #dontletitloose. Did you know that Goldfish can grow up to 30cm long and weigh 3lbs? Don't throw your unwanted goldfish in any local ponds or lakes.

Happy #WoldBeeDay 🐝

Here is a black-tailed bumble bee, native to BC. Native bee species like native plants! Plant some native species in your garden to help them. Check out https://t.co/5k4V8zB2UM to see what plants support bees!

Happy Earth Day! We live in such a beautiful place, just look around and enjoy the beautiful sights, such as this flowering salmonberry! 🌸 #salmonberry #EarthDay2020 #lovethisplanet #pnw #flower #spring

The Outdoor Recreation Council has a great poster on COVID and trail use. One thing to add is to #playcleango and remove all invasive plant parts and mud from your shoes before and after trail use too. If you see a weed, pull it and deposit in the garbage. #trails #beautifulbc

[Lillooet Regional Invasive Species Society @LRinvasives]

Tourism can cause the spread of invasives. Whether it is local travel or abroad, the tiniest of seeds can be found in mud on your boots and fall off when you're home. Practice #playcleango and #stopthespread of #invasiveplants. https://t.co/Nm0Dt4uOf8
