Episode Details

Kansans face a new battle: five invasive plants, including the tricky Amur honeysuckle, are now officially banned and must be removed from private land. After a 20-year gap, the state’s noxious weed list has been updated to stop these invaders from choking out native species, crops, and wildlife. Property owners are on the hook, but help is available—county weed departments offer free ID, advice, and discounted herbicides. Eradicating Amur honeysuckle, which thrives in wooded areas, takes time and strategy, with experts recommending glyphosate in early spring or late fall for best results. While it’s a long-term effort, proactive management and preventing spread are key to winning this ecological fight.
