Montana’s native plants shape the state’s landscapes and sustain wildlife, soil, and water systems. Noxious weeds threaten that balance by spreading quickly and crowding out the plants ecosystems depend on. Protecting native growth helps preserve the land, wildlife, and working landscapes that make Montana extraordinary.
Native plants support wildlife, stabilize soil, and require less water and maintenance. When invasive weeds take over, habitat declines, erosion increases, and land becomes harder—and more expensive—to manage. Early, consistent action protects both natural and working landscapes.
