What’s weeding now?

Patch of garlic mustard emerging in early March. Most of the leaves are still small, but will increase in size over the next few weeks.

Yesterday was Seattle’s first snow of the season which doesn’t stop these awesome crews from controlling weeds! ❄️☃️ Some of our specialists were out with @thedirtcorps yesterday at Lake Geneva, freeing the trees from ivy and cutting down blackberry. It’s not as cold when your working hard! 😎 #noxiousweeds #plantsarecool

Do you feel confident identifying sedges? Personally I find they can be difficult to ID. There’s a popular phrase us weedy folk use that goes “Sedges have edges, rushes are round, and grasses have nodes from the top to the ground.”

Nothing better than a fall field day on the canoe! Pictured here, Noxious Weed Specialist Mario collects aquatic plant samples on Lake Dolloff for a plant ID training. #plantsarecool

It’s #weedspecialistwednesday! Today you all get to meet Sara, (me!) who will be taking over this instagram for the next few months while our education specialists is away.
