This month, watch out for these two problematic invasive plants in our area.

05/31/2026

They're baaaack! 🪰 👀 Have you seen spotted lanternfly nymphs in your area? They begin hatching in April.

These invasive insects feed on more than 70 plant species, so check around your yard. If you find any, squash, stomp and smash on sight. 🥾

Another important measure is to remove any invasive tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) on your property. See the comments for resources on tree of heaven ID and treatment methods.

Webinar on 6 invasives later this month

🔥 We've moved our New Invasive Plant Laws webinar to June -- but we've got a hot topic for May!

🥪 Join us for a FREE "brown bag" webinar and learn about the six "five-alarm fire" plants that are sweeping across Virginia’s landscapes with the potential for ecological devastation.

🔎🪏 We'll focus on how to identify and control these six invasive plants and why it's essential to make them your top priorities if you find them on the land you steward.

The Huntington Community (Alexandria, VA 22303) and Fairfax ReLeaf teamed up remove an estimated 300 cubic feet of invasives. Twelve determined volunteers removed 30 bags of English ivy. They also removed ornamental bittersweet, vine and bush honeysuckle.

We look forward to this becoming an annual event. Stay tuned for a planting and invasives event in the fall.
