Its National Invasive Species Awarenss Week.

Invasive plants are plants not native to the area. They often have the upper hand and begin their growing season before our native species. This overtakes the land and inhibits our native species from growing, perpetuating the issue.

Some Invasive plants are noxious, meaning that they are deemed a huge ecological issue.
These are the plants I see most often growing first in our area.

Garlic mustard
Japanese Knotweed

Lucky for us, these are both edible and delicious. Im sure we will see them during our Trail Teaching program and we can teach you how to identify and prepare these delicious wild foods. And the best part, you cant harvest too many invasive plants. The goal is to remove them from the land. So youre helping the environment and getting free wild food!

A study published in the National Library of Medicine finds that various species of dandelion have many medicinal properties. They are antibiotic, ffective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria in tincture form. However, they find it does have negative interactions with the prescription medication Ciproflaxin. Do not take Dandelion with Ciproflaxin. It can even prevent blood sugar spikes after meals, and support kidney and liver functions. It sounds too good to be true, right?!
