The Unrelenting Spread of Periwinkle: How Ascent Yard Care is Leading the Eradication Effort on Bowen Island

Meta Description: Discover the dangers of Periwinkle and how Ascent Yard Care's expert eradication services can protect your Bowen Island property and the environment.

The Periwinkle Problem: An Invasive Species on the Loose

Periwinkle, a flowering plant native to Europe, has become a persistent invasive species on Bowen Island, threatening local biodiversity and ecosystems. Its rapid spread has raised concerns among residents, conservationists, and government agencies. Ascent Yard Care, a trusted name in invasive plant eradication, is at the forefront of the battle against Periwinkle on Bowen Island.

Why Periwinkle is a Threat

Periwinkle outcompetes native vegetation, altering ecosystems and disrupting the delicate balance of local wildlife. Its dense growth also impedes water flow, increasing the risk of flooding and erosion. Furthermore, Periwinkle's extensive root system makes it challenging to eradicate, requiring specialized knowledge and techniques.
