Take the pledge.
Yes! We pledge to identify and remove the invasive plant species from the common areas of our community association in Virginia. We will use the Virginia Invasive Plant Species List provided by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation as our guide.
We understand that allowing these plants to remain in our communities may cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
We value our trees, parklands, farms, and natural areas and commit to doing our part to preserving the ecology of our beautiful state. We support Virginia’s natural habitat, native birds, and wildlife by recognizing damage done by invasive plants and removing them.
We realize that some of these plants may be part of our common area’s intentional landscape, and we will replace them with appropriate native plants.
