Invasive Alien Species in Nova Scotia: Identification and Information Guide


This guide highlights the most prominent Invasive Alien Species in Nova Scotia. Invasive Alien Species are a group of species that have been introduced to Nova Scotia by humans and threaten us and the environment. In the last several hundred years, many human-assisted pathways have permitted these introductions, which threaten our province's incredible biodiversity and jeopardize the health and integrity of natural ecosystems. This has in turn, placed added pressure on our oceans, forests, and watersheds. We all depend on these vital natural resources for our own wellbeing and prosperity; it's in our best interest to take note and to take action.
This guidebook outlines some of the impacts and threats presented by these species, and stewardship actions that we can all take to help provide healthy and vibrant ecosystems for future generations.
Remember: Spread the word, not the species!
