Invasive plants, or "weeds", are plants that are not native to their current habitat and encroach on native species' food and/or habitat. When native species are displaced by non-natives, this has a negative impact on the health of our watershed. They also cost our economy by reducing crop yields, endangering livestock, and lowering property values. OWC supports and organizes the weed control efforts in our watershed. Thanks to the many activities undertaken by dedicated groups and individuals, we all get to enjoy the benefits of a healthier, cleaner watershed!
