Another Invading Species



Purple Loosestrife is growing on the south shore of Stump Lake, between the Gregory Lane culvert and the dam. It's about half way toward the dam, behind the reeds. Tricky to spot!

Here's a link to where you can learn more about this beautiful but very destructive plant:

The location is difficult to access, but if you can carefully remove and destroy the plants, even including the root system, you will be helping our environment.
