Weeds of the Camas Prairies LHG Site

Weeds of the Camas Prairies LHG Site:

These are the weeds of the Camas Prairies LHG site. They are considered weeds because they are non-native and invasive, or native but not a plant natively found on the South Puget Sound Glacial Outwash Prairie. Generally, the priority of weeding efforts is in the areas that have received soil ammendment and have been planted, and not the woodland edge areas

Cardamine hirsuta
