Invasive ivy strangling trees
Our Invasive Species Program is concerned with many common invasive weeds, such as English ivy and Armenian blackberry, along with the EDRR (Early Detection-Rapid Response) weeds. It’s important to prevent invasive weeds from spreading, as they can easily push out important native plants, and upset the delicate balance needed to support healthy ecosystems for all plants and wildlife.
Here are the common weeds we can help you get rid of:
Himalayan (Armenian) and evergreen blackberry (Fact sheet – English, Español)
English and Irish ivy (Fact sheet – English, Español)
Lesser celandine (Fact sheet – English, Español)
Old Man’s Beard or Traveler’s Joy clematis (Fact sheet – English, Español)
