Two nonprofits fight invasive plants
CALUMET, Mich. (WLUC) - Two Keweenaw nonprofits are joining forces to stop the spread of invasive plants locally.The Keweenaw Land Trust and the Keweenaw Wild Ones are beginning the process at one of the Land Trust's reserves – the Boston Pond.The quickest spreading invasive species at the pond is knapweed.'It puts chemicals in the ground that prevent other plants from germinating,' said Marcia Goodrich, Keweenaw Wild Ones chapter president.Knapweed also grows long taproots, which make it likely to survive and spread during droughts, unlike other native plants that don't have as deep of roots.
