Dalmatian Toadflax Student Weed Pull

As part of our school visits last month, CSISS has had some helpers for pulling weeds! Students from the local elementary schools in Revelstoke have been lending a hand to remove Dalmatian Toadflax. This invasive species spreads through roots and seeds, is toxic to livestock, and displaces native species. The students dug up the roots and pulled out flowering stems of the plants and removed several patches from the local Greenbelt trail. Good work everyone!

Key ID features of Dalmatian Toadflax:

• yellow flowers that resemble snap dragons
• heart shaped leaves
• pale green alternate leaves that attach to the stem
• milky sap
