City of New Albany Invasive Plant Removal

February 20-26 is National Invasive Species Awareness Week! Invasive species are those that do not occur in a region naturally and cause ecological or economic harm; or they present a hazard to human or domestic animal health. The City of New Albany forestry team regularly removes invasive plants around our community. Doing so allows our native plants to thrive, increases water quality and improves wildlife habitat. This work also creates a safer and more welcoming park experience by improving visibility along trails. Watch this video to learn more from our crews as they work on a recent project!
