Canada Goldenrod, while being a native plant, it is considered an invasive species because it can easily colonize a large area of disturbed land. The seeds are easily carried away by wind to far distances and scatter easily. In many disturbed lands such as Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, there are thick stands of Canada Goldenrod and very few to nothing else in them. In my own opinion, I would rather see thick stands of Canada Goldenrod than say Canada Thistle or Queen Anne's Lace just because it is so much easier to take out and it is already one step ahead of the game being native.
