Invasive Species
<p>Master Gardener, Emily Clem, and Extension Agent, Kathy Terry-Warner, dig deep on the subject of invasive plants. Many of the invasives were originally planted for their ornamental look (think Wisteria, Nandina, Bradford Pear, English Ivy, etc.) but have since taken over and now threaten our native plants and wildlife. ACES (Alabama Cooperative Extension System) has designated 2026 as the Year of Invasive Plants! They encourage both education and eradication and are hosting a number of events for the public to participate in getting rid of these unruly plants in communities and backyard landscapes.</p><p> Links:<br><a href="https://www.aces.edu/">https://www.aces.edu/</a><br><a href="https://mastergardeners-limestonecountyalabama.org/">https://mastergardeners-limestonecountyalabama.org/</a><br><a href="https://www.alcpl.org/">https://www.alcpl.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.aces.edu/blog/topics/forestry-wildlife/2026-year-of-invasive-plants/">https://www.aces.edu/blog/topics/forestry-wildlife/2026-year-of-invasive-plants/</a><br><a href="https://www.weedwrangle.org/">https://www.weedwrangle.org/</a><br><a href="https://northalabama.wildones.org/events/">https://northalabama.wildones.org/events/</a></p><p>Have questions about this episode?
