The purpose of the Rangeland Invasive Species Committee is to serve the Society for Range Management (SRM) by focusing attention, sharing knowledge, and communicating concerns about rangeland invasive species.

What is an Invasive Species? As defined by the National Invasive Species Information Center (NISIC):

An 'invasive species' is defined as a species that is 1) non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and 2) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health (Executive Order 13112). Invasive species can be plants, animals, and other organisms (e.g., microbes). Human actions are the primary means of invasive species introductions.
