Invasive Species of the Month: Purple Loosestrife
Purple loosestrife is a wetland plant that grows densely, crowding out native vegetation and reducing habitat for native wildlife. It's dense stems and roots trap sediment, raising the water table and reducing open waterways, ultimately damaging wetlands and impeding waterflow. Keep an eye out for this pretty but pesky invasive throughout September!
