They arrive silently and without warning, stowed away in the ballast of commercial ships, or hidden among recreational fishing gear. Some escape from homes and laboratories to make their way into nearby forests and waterways. Others are freed intentionally by people who are tired of caring for them. Many already live among us, spreading viruses and other pathogens wherever they travel.
Invasion of the Grand River Watershed
These invaders have infiltrated much of the United States, including the Grand River Watershed in northeast Ohio, but they are not terrorists or people carrying exotic diseases. They are invasive species -- nonnative plants, animals and pathogens that enter an ecosystem and harm the environment, economy or human health.
Like most areas of the country, the Grand River Watershed is susceptible to invasive species carried into the region by people, or spread naturally over time from adjacent areas. The watershed covers approximately 712 square miles, an area that is drained by the 98-mile Grand River, which flows from Geauga County in Ohio to Lake Erie, east of Cleveland. The river is a designated State Wild and Scenic River, and is home to countless species of plants and animals, including 60 species of rare plants.
