Loosestrife Expedition on York Pond
Early in September, three volunteers mounted a last-chance expedition to snag the few beautiful but dangerous Purple Loosestrife plants that had appeared on the banks of York Pond before they could release their seeds into the air. Each plant contains up to 2.7 million seeds, which explains the fields of Loosestrife where it has crowded out all other plants. This was a prospect no one wanted for York Pond.
