Educated, alert landowners are the key to protecting your woodlands from invasive plants and pests. Take 10 minutes to watch and learn to identify one of our latest threats to native biodiversity: Japanese stiltgrass, Microstegium vimineum. In this video from our colleagues at the Maine Dept. of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry, learn the risks and how to identify stiltgrass and prevent its movement. Stiltgrass eradication in Maine is possible if infestations are identified and reported early.
