Since I am on a rant about invasive plants, let me share this cool little graphic about garlic mustard that the friends of the local park just sent out.
Not mentioned here is that another way this little fucker is so insidious is that it disrupts the mycorrhiza that many native plants need to grow.
More info on garlic mustard here: https://www.sierraclub.org/maryland/blog/2018/04/invasive-weed-month-may-garlic-mustard
Well...at least no one is posting arty photos of this one.

As things start blooming in the US at the start of spring, please consider not promoting invasive species by showing off your arty photos of them. Here is one I have seen a bit of, callery pear sometimes known as Bradford pear. It is highly invasive in much of the eastern part of the US. It takes over habitat once populated with native trees, shrubs and other plants, which supported a wide variety of native insects and animals. 1/2

So, I did a bit of research into the new herbicide that's safer than #RoundUp (Spruce brand). I actually found easy-to-obtain substitutes for the ingredients, and I'm going to start playing around with recipes, and use the home-made version on some of our really stubborn #InvasivePlants. I'll be posting about research on the ingredients (and why they could work) this #SolarPunkSunday !

Herd for Hire: About 300 #Goats Employed to Help #CheyenneWY Clear Overgrown Vegetation
by Alex Hill, Jun 11, 2025
"For over a decade, the City of Cheyenne has employed goat herds to manage overgrown vegetation. This approach has proven both effective and cost-efficient.
"In 2025, the city awarded the vegetation management contract to Goats on the Go, Boulder, a division of Olson Outdoors based in Broomfield, Colorado.
"Lauren Patrie, owner and partner of Goats on the Go, Boulder, explained, 'So we're up here for 25 days. And basically what we do is we just move the goats around wherever there's a need.'
"The primary objective, like every year, is to clear #invasive species and overgrown vegetation obstructing two of Cheyenne’s floodways. These plants not only impede water flow but also disrupt local #ecosystems.
"Patrie further elaborated, 'The city of Cheyenne brought us out here to bring a big herd of about 300 goats to clean up overgrown vegetation and invasive weeds along the greenway.'
"The goats' grazing habits offer several #environmental benefits. Patrie noted, 'Goats are super agile and light on their feet, so less chance of erosion that you might have with heavy equipment.' Additionally, 'We're not using gas-powered or anything that has chemicals, toxic emissions. They're still and aerate the soil. Makes it easier for nutrients and water to absorb into the soil. Healthier for native grasses to regrow. And their digestive process renders the seeds of #InvasivePlants useless so they can no longer grow in the future.' [I did not know this!]
"Despite this decade-long practice, 2025 marked the first time the city hosted a public event to introduce the goats. The 'Meet and Bleat' event featured a petting zoo-style area, allowing citizens to interact closely with the herd. Both the city and Goats on the Go aimed to spotlight the hardworking goats and foster community engagement."

#Florida #WildlifeCorridor linking #StateParks would thwart #development
#LoxaLucie Headwaters Initiative aims to buy #HobeSound land for conservation.
by Timothy O'Hara, Jan. 2, 2026
"At a time when development pressure is pushing north into rural Martin County, conservation groups want to protect a wildlife corridor between two state parks in Hobe Sound.
"The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative was founded to protect the ecologically important corridor between #AtlanticRidgePreserve State Park and #JonathanDickinson State Park and connect the #LoxahatcheeRiver and #SaintLucie rivers. That would create a preserve for #NativePlants and #wildlife species that would span about 70,000 acres.
"The public owns #Hapatiokee and #PalMar regional parks, but there are thousands of acres of privately owned land in natural conditions that are ripe for development, said Guardians of Martin County Executive Director Greg Braun, whose group is part of the initiative.
" 'If they can connect the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, we should be able to connect Jonathan Dickinson State Park to Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park,' Braun told TCPalm."

I plan to take down some privet trees this fall, and I think I’m going to need some herbicide to succeed. Here are a bunch of resources I found on privet control and, specifically, recommendations for “cut-and-treat.”

Here's a new weed to watch out for in NZ: long-flowered Veldt grass, Ehrharta longiflora.
I found one in flower yesterday. It's an annual relative of the now widespread perennial Veldt grass, Ehrharta erecta, which the NZ Plant Conservation several years ago voted the worst environmental weed in NZ. That's because it chokes out semi-shaded areas in bush where a lot of native herbaceous plants like to grow.
Long-flowered Veldt grass may not be as bad, since it's a fast-growing Spring annual, but still, do we want to take that risk?
At the moment the *only place* in all of the South Island that it's known is around the base of Hackthorne Road in Christchurch. Some effort has been made to contain it but the main property that it's on doesn't want the council on her land so it keeps spreading here.
If you find it anywhere else, that's important. Note the distinctive pinkish bracts on the flowers.

@dubh When it's done right, people can make a huge difference to NZ's environment by spotting emergent weeds as they're beginning to establish.
My favourite recent example is Dave Holland's discovery in 2020 of wild black swallow-wort on the edge of the Timaru Botanic Gardens. That was the first wild record of the species anywhere in NZ, and it's a wetland weed overseas. Timaru Council and Environment Canterbury staff stepped in with control, over several years, and now it's gone.
That's one environmental weed nipped in the bud before it could get started.

Although I've always loved the beautiful foliage of #JapaneseBarberry shrubs, we've avoided adding any to our own gardens. They're highly invasive if not heavily controlled. Japanese barberry provides prime environments for #ticks to breed due to the high humidity in barberry's dense foliage. It's believed that spread of barberry is correlated with the spread of #LymeDisease.
I really wish stores/nurseries that sell plants would inform customers on problematic ones so folks can make more informed decisions. Many uninformed customers often buy Japanese barberry shrubs because they're deer resistant & visually appealing. I suggest avoiding it. It's been banned for sale in some USA states.
Just admire the shrubs in public cultivated gardens - don't grow them.#foliage #leaves #Summer #plants #botanical #shrubs #nature #Saanich #VictoriaBC #YYJ #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW #Zone8 #InvasivePlants #burgundy #landscaping #DeerResistant
