Maryland takes aim at invasive plants
New regulations will lead to ban on some species
by Holly Nunn Staff writer
Marylanders may know about kudzu, the invasive ivy that can be seen
choking trees along highways from Texas to New England. But there are
species imported from other regions or countries that also threaten the
native landscape, and the Maryland Department of Agriculture is proposing
regulations to identify and rank floral invaders.
See the link above for the full article text. The comment period runs
until December 17th for the regulations, see this link for more
