Star Trek fans will recall that Starfleet's Prime Directive when encountering an alien civilization was non-interference. But for alien species invading this state, the opposite is true.
Nearly one-third of New Jersey's 3,000-plus native plant species are now considered rare. We are losing our native wildlife to invasive flora and fauna of every form from the Old World. On the heels of National Invasive Species Awareness Week, it's clear that we need to take action before it's too late.
