Invasive plants are introduced species that cause health, economic or ecological damage in their new range. They can reduce habitat and population size of native species, alter habitat structure, and change ecosystem properties. The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation currently lists 90 plant species as invasive. Fifty-seven percent of plant species listed as threatened or endangered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service are directly threatened by invasive species. In the United States, invasive species cause an estimated $120 billion in annual economic losses, including costs to manage their effects. Annual costs and damages arriving from invasive plants alone are estimated at $34 billion. (Data sourced from Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.)
