Good Green: Homeowner's Guide to Managing Invasive Plants
Invasive plants, pests, and diseases threaten the resilience, survival, and value of Maryland’s forests. They are capable of halting regeneration and diminishing timber production, wildlife habitat quality, and ecosystem services. Maryland Forest Service provides guidance, training, and assistance for public agencies and private landowners to mitigate the impacts of these species on their forests.
Good Green is a Maryland Department of Natural Resources Forest Service initiative to protect native vegetation in our natural areas. The initiative was started as a Landscape Scale Restoration grant from the U.S. Forest Service. Learn more.
