Probable or Known Extent of Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) infestation across the Helms-Phillips 500-Year Forest
We hired Rodney Nice to give us a picture of the invasive plants in this forest. His report and management plan is focused on identifying and controlling unwanted invasive plant species. Native and non-native invasive species are a common site across the Helms Phillips property. These include such species as: Japanese Stiltgrass, Garlic Mustard, Royal Paulownia, Tree-of-Heaven, Japanese Barberry, Multiflora Rose, Oriental Bittersweet, and Devil’s Walking Stick. The report detailed control measures for these invasive plant species. See the accompanying chart for the range of Garlic Mustard. Rick Helms has begun implementing the recommendations.
