A group that supports trail development in Greater Vernon, is urging the public to take steps to prevent the spread of noxious weeds along local greenways.
Harold Sellers, president of the Ribbons of Green Trails Society, said noxious weeds and invasive plants impact trail aesthetics along with the environment and the economy.
“Local government programs for invasive weed management will not be enough,” Sellers said. “Trail users can avoid spreading weeds by staying on the main trail, and cleaning off any seeds picked up by clothing, bikes, equipment, and dogs. With some basic plant identification skills, trail users can learn which weeds are the main offenders, and how they can help identify and control outbreaks.”
