Giant hogweed just looks mean doesn’t it? All spiky and jagged looking! If you see this plant anywhere in King County please send us a report with King County Connect app or Report a Weed form on our website, link in bio. This photo is from a report we got this week so you can see what to look for right now. Remember use gloves to handle or control it to avoid the sap! And feel free to pull the ivy too if you’re working there anyways! #meanweeds #toxicweeds #gianthogweed #heracleummantegazzianum

Ahh, one more giant hogweed gone! Maria shows how to help our little patch of the earth one noxious weed at a time #earthday2021 #gianthogweed #diggingweeds #heracleummantegazzianum #poisonplants Selfie video by Maria Winkler

It’s garlic mustard time! Easier to spot now that it’s taller and a great time to control it before fully in flower or seed. Even though garlic mustard is tasty for people, it isn’t eaten by wildlife and does not leave room for PNW native forest plants. Help us spot it in King County and report it with King County Connect. Make sure to take photos, garlic mustard looks similar to a lot of other plants including native species like fringecup.

Yikes 😳 look at this massive giant hogweed patch we stumbled onto! Old seed heads, young healthy new growth, seedlings still with cotyledons, this site has it all. Message to everyone: don’t weed-whack your hogweed! It’s dangerous and it doesn’t do anything but spread it even more! This hogweed infestation on a vacant property and undeveloped roadway is unfortunately spreading to the neighbors and is going to be a huge effort to get rid of. Help us find hogweed early if you spot it, so we can avoid this happening anywhere else. Report noxious weeds with app King County Connect or email noxious.weeds@kingcounty.gov or DM me here.
