What alien invaders threaten Banff National Park? Habitat Heroes battle aquatic invasive species, noxious plants, and animals that don’t belong in this delicate ecosystem. Students will discover how invasive species affect the environment, how we identify and manage them, and why everyone’s actions matter when it comes to protecting our special places.
