Yosemite’s wild invader: Mullein takes over

Tall, alien-looking plants are popping up all over Yosemite campsites, and they’re not just a quirky sight—they’re mullein, an invasive species that’s crowding out native plants and threatening the park’s ecosystem. It’s wild to see how quickly these non-native plants can take over, changing the landscape and making life harder for local wildlife. Some folks in Colorado have even seen entire fields taken over by mullein! This really makes you think about how important it is to protect native plants and be mindful of what we introduce into our environment.
