Hi weed warriors,
Here is an update on Wavyleaf Basketgrass which is highly invasive and
has just hit North America.
Click on <http://www.mdinvasivesp.org/> http://www.mdinvasivesp.org/ for a
jpg and press release
We mapped and removed 3 small patches of Wavy Leaf Basket Grass
in Greenbelt National Park, ranging from 5ft. by 3ft. to 20ft. by 10ft.
on the eastern side of the Azalea Trail, to the west of the Sweetgum
Picnic Area. All of the Wavy Leaf patches were quite dense, with
individual plants occurring along deer trails between major patches.
There is still time this year for an organized team of Federal, State, and
local researchers and managers to start documenting the distribution
of this EDRR grass starting at the known locations in Beltsville, Greenbelt
and Baltimore, Maryland. Who can step forward and help take
the lead?
Cheers!
