Good plants, bad rap: Invasive species and the Bradford Pear. What can we do?
Manage episode 295085184 series 2538526
While some invasive species like the Bradford pear tree can seem like a good thing, (trees ARE good for the environment!), they are considered invasive because they crowd out more favorable and sustainable native trees, shrubs, and understory plants that are better for the environment. Lindsey Purcell, Urban Forestry Specialist for the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at Purdue University explains why invasive species outcompete native species so well. Purcell describes actions the general public can take to combat invasive species.
