Invasive Species Strike Team

Your local Kent Strike Team is in the field year-round working to protect our natural areas from the negative impacts of aggressive invasive plants. Invasive plants degrade wildlife habitat by outcompeting our native plant communities which have developed mutually beneficial relationships that keep our ecosystems in balance. Invasive plants also have the potential to impact infrastructure and human health (see poison hemlock). If you are looking to manage against invasive species, our team is here to provide planning, control and maintenance services on both public and private lands.
