Minnesota invasive species are species that are not native to Minnesota and cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. There are a number of species present in Minnesota at this time and they will vary from area to area. For a comprehensive list, visit: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/index.html
If you’re not sure if you have an invasive animal or plant on your property, a good preliminary resource on what may be ailing your trees and plants can be found on the UofM Extension website: What’s wrong with my plant?
Our office can only provide limited services to individual land-owners with concerns about invasive species. If you are unsure on how to identify or treat an infestation on your property, always contact a professional. Some species require special treatment and may be hazardous if mishandled. It is ILLEGAL to transport noxious weeds, or potentially infested tools or materials.
See the Northeastern MN Invasive Species Field Guide for more info.
