Ever wonder what those vines are creeping up your fence and shrouding your yard's edge trees in a strangle hold?   Have you seen those 'beautiful' purple flowers in your local wetlands that seem just a little bit too abundant?   Seen the mile-a-minute vines running rampant in the Blue Hills?  Invasive plants pose a huge threat to our native plant species and ecosystems, and recognizing them is an important awareness for those of us who love the environment and the outdoors.

If you can't attend this weekend's event at the MA Horticultural Society, or just want to delve deeper into the topic, check out The Trustees' "Least Wanted" page for more information and links to many resources on identification and control of these unwanted intruders!
