It's time to take a stand. This year SOLV along with community partners such as OPB, The Nature Conservancy, and The Oregon Invasive Species Council (OISC) will begin a year-long campaign to counter the environmental and economical threat of invasive species. The campaign will include an hour-long documentary special, a series of television awareness spots, an online invasive species ‘reporting’ hotline, a statewide volunteer Take Action calendar, a GardenSmart guide to non-invasive plants for your garden, and educational materials aimed at giving Oregonians the resources they need to join the fight to protect our state’s natural environment.
The Nature Conservancy Garden Guide In addition to the documentary and the volunteer events, a garden guide - GardenSmart Oregon - developed in association with The Nature Conservancy, Portland BES, Oregon Sea Grant and the Oregon Association of Nurseries will be available in April. The guide will highlight which plants are most likely to cause problems in our yards along with several suggested alternative plants that are unlikely to escape into the natural environment. Check back here in April for information on where and how to get your guide. Click on one of the links below

Look for the invasive icon on our calendar to find invasive projects.
Oregon
is under siege by invasive species such as star thistle, english ivy, snapper
turtles and feral pigs. And more arrive each day by plane, by boat, in ballast
water, on boots and in luggage. They threaten salmon, drive native wildflowers
to extinction, deplete our best rangelands, and undermine our richest and
most productive shellfish beds and reefs. The invaders come from every corner
of the planet and leave their natural predators behind. And with each new
silent invasion the great tapestry of plants and wildlife that make Oregon
unique unravels.
