Weed of the Month: Saltcedar

Saltcedar, an invasive and adaptable shrub, has been known to take over Western riverbanks, threatening native ecosystems with its aggressive growth and water-depleting nature. Its wispy appearance and deep pink flowers may charm, but the havoc it wreaks on wildlife biodiversity demands urgent attention and control.

Weed of the Month: Eurasian Watermilfoil

Eurasian Watermilfoil is an aquatic invasive plant that’s considered a priority one species in Teton county. This means that there is no known infestation and it is a considerable concern of ours. It spreads locally by rhizomes, stem fragments, and seeds, and can be spread to other bodies of water as vegetative material attached to watercraft and equipment.

Weed of the Month: Russian Olive

Russian Olive trees were introduced to the U.S. for landscaping aesthetics, to stave off erosion, to provide pollen for honey bees, and to block snow and wind. However, they are a threat to our river corridors because they form dense, impenetrable stands that choke out native vegetation like willows and cottonwoods.

Weed of the Month: Cheatgrass

Cheatgrass is an invasive plant to Wyoming but native to Europe and southwestern Asia. This plant is a huge problem because it tends to grow across large areas and is quickly changing Wyoming native plant composition.

Take the PlayCleanGo Pledge to Stop Invasive Species

Stop what you’re doing and take the PlayCleanGo pledge with us! Pledge to “arrive clean and leave clean” this summer. Anglers, boaters, hikers, bikers, campers, horseback riders, and off-roaders can help prevent the spread of invasive plants and animals.

Weed of the Month: Field Bindweed

Our invasive weed of the month is field bindweed—a pesky climbing perennial vine that is tricky to eradicate. Part of the morning glory family, this vine has funnel-shaped flowers, arrowhead leaves, and an extensive root system.

April is Native Plant Month in Wyoming

As April comes to a close we reflect that Gov'r Gordon proclaimed that this month is now Native Plant Month in Wyoming. As the weather warms, and the snow melts off, we are already thinking "what should I plant in my garden" We urge you to choose native plants.

Best Practices While Planning Your Wyoming Garden

As the snowpack starts to melt and the patches of grass become more visible in your yard, it’s hard to not be excited to spend some quality time making your yard even more beautiful with gardening and landscaping with different flowers, shrubs, and trees.

Now is the Time to Winterize your Herbicide Sprayers

Dropping temperatures, snow on the ground, and shrinking daylight hours means that it’s time to winterize those herbicides! ❄️Harsh winters like we have in Jackson can damage your herbicides as well as equipment if you don’t take proper precautions and measures.
