Brookmeade Park Weedwrangle

A weed wrangle is a strategic removal of invasive species of plants. When established, the non-native invasive plant species are harmful to our natural ecosystems. For example, non-native invasive plants can greatly impact the health and regeneration of forest lands by spreading into the understory of a forest and suppressing native plants and wildlife dependent on them. These species will destroy or replace native food sources, making the ecosystem less diverse and more susceptible to further disturbances, such as disease and fire. The process is to remove these plants by the root, or they will just quickly grow back. We have special tools that make this easier than you would think (the weed wrench).
