CRISP - Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership :: Streamside Plants
http://catskillinvasives.com/index.php/streamside-plants
Invasive plants like Japanese knotweed and purple loosestrife use waterways to facilitate their spread. Because knotweed and loosestrife are less effective than our native plants in holding soil in place, the stream banks that these invasive plants colonize are at increased risk of erosion. Are you a streamside landowner? If so, there are programs that are available to help you plant native trees and other plants to protect the streambank from erosion (washing away). Watch our video on Purple Loosestrife!

Once giant hogweed is present in riparian landscapes, it is capable of spreading seed long distances. Seeds can drop into nearby channels and utilize flowing water as a vector for traveling great distances. Plants may reach heights of up to 15 feet, and can be distinguished by their large, showy, white umbel i...
