SUBMITTED PHOTOS Help attack a notorious weed at Circle Creek SEASIDE — Impatiens glan- dulifera — an invasive plant better known as policeman’s helmet — is becoming a scourge in the Necanicum River watershed. Help arrest this public enemy at Circle Creek Habitat Reserve at a volunteer stewardship day with North Coast Land Con- servancy from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 11. Native to Asia, police- man’s helmet is named for the plant’s white, pink or purple lowers, whose shape resembles an old-fashioned British policeman’s helmet. It was irst sighted in the Necanicum River watershed about three years ago and has since spread widely. It thrives in moist riparian areas such as the loodplain at Circle Creek, where vol- unteers will be working. Dense patches of po- liceman’s helmet choke out other plant species and re- duce native plant and animal diversity while increasing the risk of stream bank erosion. When touched, the plant’s mature seedpods split and eject seeds up to 20 feet. A single plant can produce up to 800 seeds, which remain viable for 18 months or more and can even germi- nate under water. NCLC has timed this stewardship day — a part- nership with Necanicum Wa- tershed Council — to pull up plants before they have a chance to set seeds. If you’d like to help, contact NCLC Stewardship Director Melissa Reich at 503-738-9126, melissar@ nclctrust.org, for directions. Visit NCLCtrust.org for more information and a fact sheet about this weed.
