Invasive Grasses

This is Crested Wheat Grass, it’s a non-native plant. When people were ranching or homesteading in parts of this area they introduced this so we’ve got quite a bit in the park, especially in these flat areas. I think somebody tried to farm here, you can see the furrows where somebody tried to plant corn, and I imagine they introduced some of these invasive grasses. We like to keep the park with native grasses and a native ecosystem, but we’ve got some invasives too."
