Invasive Plant Removal Incentive Program

 

THIS PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO BUDGET CUTS

Invasive Vine Strike Force
The Invasive Vine Strike Force is a Countywide program, managed by the Department of Environmental Resources Management, targeting the removal of two non-native invasive vines: old-world and Japanese climbing ferns and air potato. These vines have adverse impacts on native ecosystems and threaten our natural areas by invading and disrupting native plant communities. The County's program will eradicate old-world and Japanese climbing ferns and air potato vines on public as well as private parcels in Palm Beach County.

For additional information on these vines, including removal methods, please visit the University of Florida's Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants websites for air potato and old-world climbing fern.
