Invasive species control: Cow parsley
Many invasive species tend to sprout before native plants, effectively outcompeting them in the race for sunlight. Cow parsley is one such species, carpeting the ground in several sectors of the mountain and taking up space that belongs to native vegetation.
Towards the end of winter, it can be exciting to see the first patches of green appearing amidst the melting snow.

Cow parsley is one such species, carpeting the ground in several sectors of the mountain and taking up space that belongs to native vegetation.
