Habitat rehabilitations work to restore native ecosystems through removal of invasive species and re-introduction of native plants. An invasive species is an organism that is not native to an ecosystem, reproduces quickly, spreads aggressively, and causes harm. Common invasive specides include English Ivy, Chinese privet, Persian silk tree (mimosa), and Chinese & Japanese wisteria.

Removing invasive species makes natural areas more hospitable to native plants, which are important because they support local wildlife, stabilize soil, and preserve biodiversity. This helps protect the local ecosystem.

Volunteers thin out and remove invasive plants, remove trash, and plant native trees.
