Action | Amend noxious weed list |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 12/8/2023 |
I am new in my learning of invasive and noxious weeds, but since my awareness is heightened, I see many of these growing in our parks and green spaces. I agree with others who have commented that English Ivy (hedera helix) and Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) need to be added to the list. I have seen the Ivy taking over in places like Forest Hill Park and James River Park in Richmond, and the stiltgrass is rampant in Shenandoah National Park and many of our state parks. How about adding some money to the budget to provide funds for eradication?
