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.
