Hoosier National Forest, other agencies and volunteers are mapping where invasive plants are growing in Indiana's Charles C. Deam Wilderness.
In certain countries, mahogany is considered an invasive species. Mahogany is wood from any of three tree species: Honduran or big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), West Indian or Cuban mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni), and Swietenia humilis. Honduran mahogany is the most widespread and the only genuine mahogany species commercially grown today.

Ecologically based invasive plant management (EBIPM) is a decision-making framework to improve the management of invasive plant species. When land managers are faced with infestations of invasive plants, a step by step framework to develop integrated management plans will improve their success at managing these plants.
The invasive species problem is not limited to greenways. At the 318-acre Ijams Nature Center, more than 40 exotic species have been documented, threatening the native flora.
The small number and size, five sites totaling 4.5 ha (11 acres) of these unique areas, makes them susceptible to development impacts and invasion by exotic plants. [12] Shell mounds have been damaged and continue to be threatened by damage from artifact-seekers and archeological excavations.
Vigorous growth is also a hallmark of many non-native and invasive plants, and burning bush also checks this box and can grow to 30-feet tall and wide when it is not regularly pruned.
