Terrestrial invasives come in many forms including plants, animals, insects, fungi and diseases. They affect the health of our forests, agricultural lands, parks, and more. DCIST has created the following list of terrestrial plants and animals that threaten Door County’s natural environments and economy. A summary of the “Top 15” Invasive Plants in Door County (with pictures) can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
