Big news for the Garden State! 🌿🐞

In recent weeks, Governor Phil Murphy signed the New Jersey Invasive Species Management Act, creating the state’s first comprehensive framework to tackle harmful invasive plants. The new law establishes a permanent New Jersey Invasive Species Council, restricts the sale and spread of designated invasive species and gives growers and land managers realistic timelines to adapt to these changes.

Why is this important? Invasive plants can reproduce and spread quickly, crowding out the native plants that New Jersey's pollinators and other wildlife depend on.

This is a major win for our native ecosystems and everyone who loves the natural beauty of New Jersey. 🌳💚 Searching for an easy guide to the prohibited plants? We have you covered.
