It's the final day of #InvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek! We've covered a lot of info, but there's so much more. Keep learning, tag us @PLCranching to share your strategies for managing invasives on your land, and join the @westgov data sharing project at http://westgov.org/initiatives/overview/biosecurity-and-invasive-species-initiative.

The cost of invasive species goes beyond environmental degradation — harm to industries like agriculture, recreation & energy exceeds $137 billion per year. Prescribed grazing by public lands ranchers can alleviate economic AND environmental damage. #InvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek

Day Three of #InvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek! Animals can be invasive, too. Invasive animal species often have high reproductive rates & few predators. This creates a domino effect that degrades the entire ecosystem, threatens hunting & fishing revenue, and increases wildfire risk.
