The Tregaron Conservancy is working hard to stop the spread of non-native invasive plants that are threatening our plant and animal habitat. Over our first 15 years, we have succeeded in removing vast quantities of invasives and restoring the ecological health of large areas of our landscape. But our work is far from finished! Thanks to our professional maintenance crew and trained volunteers, we are continuing to remove invasives using a variety of methods.
The following are the non-native invasive plants that we are prioritizing for removal.
Akebia vine/chocolate vine (Akebia quinata) | Bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) |
Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) | Burdock (Arctium minus) |
Crab grass (Digitaria sanguinalis) | English ivy (Hedera helix) |
Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) | Hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) |
Japanese stiltgrass (Microstigeum vimineum) | Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) |
Kudzu (Pueraria montana) | Lesser celandine (Ficaria verna) |
Plantain (Plantago major) | Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) |
Porcelain berry (Ampelopsis glandulosa) | Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) |
