First Yellowstone National Park...now BC’s Kootenay and Yoho national parks, and Alberta’s Waterton Lakes.
Invasive species spreading via holiday boating have resulted in the NPS and Parks's Canada taking strong action. globalnews.ca/news/10372346/…

This tree of heaven was cut down after the storms last year, and you can see some of the sprouts emerging. They can emerge up to 50 ft away from the original stump. Apply herbicide after cutting, and wait at east 30 days before removing stump.

Who wants to take a stab at identifying this invasive species that is beginning to bud? People consider the red winged blackbird as a hardbinger of spring, but invasive species biologists consider this as a harbinger of doom.

We thought we would do something fun for National Invasive Species Awareness Week! There are 13 invasive species in the picture, and we want to know how long it takes you to find all of them...15s, 30s, 60s?.

A handy resources to identify trees in Michigan! As the spring leaves come in, learn what type of trees you have in your area so that you can rid of the invasive ones!
