The Quiet Invasion

This field guide is intended to help homeowners, land managers, and gardeners living in the Lower Galveston Bay Watershed (Harris, Galveston and surrounding counties) recognize invasive plants, understand the impacts of these species on people and the surrounding environment, choose methods to control established invasives, and choose native plant alternatives. Every species included in this field guide has full color photos for ease of identification as well as physical descriptions of the plant, preferred habitats, geographic distribution, reproduction and growth characteristics, pathways of introduction, and native plant alternatives to be found at or requested from home gardening centers.
