Upcoming Invasive Species
Not good news, but there are some new invasive species
that are slowly making their way to us. Rachelle McElroy from the Costal
Invasive Species Committee mentioned them at our last meeting. If you see one
of these, report it.
Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) looks like a fern or
like parsnips, carrots, and parsley. It is present on south Vancouver Island
now. It can be found in poorly drained soils, especially near streams and
ditches. You may also find it on roadsides and the edge of cultivated fields.
In ancient Greece, it was used to poison condemned
prisoners. In 399 BC, Socrates was given it after being condemned to death for
impiety and corrupting the young men of Athens.

Invasive Species Alternatives
Invasive plants are non-native, have aggressive

them in Powell River.
