Two invasive species hitting Door County

Keep your eyes out for two new invasive species that have been recently found in Door County. The Door County Invasive Species Team most recently found European frogbit, an aquatic plant that grows quickly and floats on top of the water, near Peninsula State Park earlier this month after seeing it around Little Sturgeon in July. The team has also found smaller amounts of a weed known as Johnson grass, which is herbicide resistant and tends to grow near forest edges and crop fields. With both invasive species, Samantha Koyen from the Door County Invasive Species Team says they could have a negative impact in several different ways.

Koyen advises you to take the necessary steps to prevent the spread of the invasive species and notify the team if you encounter it.
