Wrapping up 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, we are reminded that invasive species are not simply a nuisance — they are a material risk to ecological function and infrastructure resilience. Invasive plants alter hydrology, outcompete native vegetation, degrade wildlife habitat, and impair stormwater systems. For municipalities and private landowners alike, proactive management is far more cost-effective than deferred intervention.
