Defenders of Wildlife works on the ground, in the courts, and on Capitol Hill to protect and restore imperiled wildlife and habitats across North America.
Aquatic invasive plants such as Water Chestnut can infest our lakes and rivers, impede the flow of water, and prevent people from enjoying recreational activities.
