Located in Brooklyn, New York, Prospect Park spans 526 acres. We examined four of the most invasive plant species and the affected native species in Prospect Park. We focused on each plant’s role and how the ecosystem is affected from the prevalence of invasive plant species. We also analyzed an in-progress solution issued by Prospect Park in recent years to target these invasive species.
