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.
