Common Invasive Ground Covers
Welcome to week two of the Scavenger Hunt!
In this week’s Nature Invaders Weekly Digest, we talked about common invasive ground covers. Not receiving the weekly digest? Sign up here: http://eepurl.com/h4FSLf.
Invasive ground covers like lily-of-the-valley, periwinkle and goutweed form dense, thick mats that spread quickly beyond garden borders into lawns, neighbouring yards or forests and natural areas. Periwinkle has been frequently observed across the watershed and in surrounding regions, so you may find you have it on your property too. Others to look out for include English ivy and dog-strangling vine.
