The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is home to an amazing 948 plant species, 813 of which are native. In order to preserve this diversity, it is important to limit the number of non-native invasive species competing for resources. Although the park works to control non-native invasive plants from spreading, they are often introduced from nearby areas unintentionally- seeds being carried by animals, the wind, or the river are just some of the ways.
