Along with national partners, FRIENDS has joined the fight against invasive species by promoting the use of native alternatives. FRIENDS holds native plant fairs each spring in several Abaco communities with guest speakers who talk on subjects from propagation to national legislation.
Download a list of the Bahamas’ invasive plants.
Those of most concern in Abaco are:
Brazilian Pepper, Hawaiian Sea Grape, Casuarina
Plant sales are consumer-driven: You can help by requesting native plants from your local nursery. The Bahamas’ invasive species strategy includes a voluntary code of conduct for landscapers and the gardening public, which can be downloaded.
