Wavyleaf basketgrass is taking over forests across the Mid Atlantic, and it’s not just an eyesore—it’s a real headache for hikers and nature lovers. The seeds are super sticky, clinging to your shoes, clothes, and even your pets, making it easy to accidentally spread this invasive plant to new places. It crowds out native plants, messes with wildlife habitats, and is tough to remove. If you’re out hiking and spot this plant in seed, try to avoid it and check your gear before heading home. Anyone else battling invasives in their yard or favorite park? #Science #InvasiveSpecies #Nature
