Working to Control the Spread of Invasive Species in Hillsborough County
|
| |
|
The Invasive Species Task Force (ISTF)
is a multi-agency partnership with 4 main goals: |
| |
- Hillsborough County Invasive Species Task Force Brochure ( PDF, 1557KB )
- Remove existing nonnative invasive plants ( PDF, 3501KB )
on public lands and stem the spread of
invasives to other sites;
- Facilitate citizen involvement and volunteerism
of the control and removal of invasive plants;
- Create awareness about the existence and the
harm of invasive plants to Florida’s plants
and wildlife; and
- Educate the public on invasive plant control,
eradication techniques and native plant replacements.
|
|
Participants of the ISTF include citizens, non-profit organizations and government
agencies. The ISTF meets monthly on the third Wednesday of the month, and holds quarterly invasive removal work
days to control invasives on public properties.
