Bad Seeds

A lot of people are familiar with the notorious Black Mustard plant, one of the most prolific and invasive weeds in the west. However, there are a LOT of other invasive plants we encounter during our large-scale restoration programs here in SoCal. Our Weed Crew helped us round up a few to watch out for…and shared some tips for stopping the spread. You can also grab our new Bad Seeds Wanted Poster in our shop!
