What is Spurge Laurel?

A Brief Overview

Spurge laurel (Daphne laureola) is an invasive plant species that poses a significant threat to our local ecosystems. Native to Europe, it was introduced to North America for its ornamental beauty. However, it has spread rapidly, outcompeting native plants and disrupting the natural balance of our forests and gardens. In The Sea to Sky corridor, spurge laurel can be found in various areas, from urban gardens to remote forests.

Why Eradication is Necessary

Eradicating spurge laurel is crucial for several reasons. First, it helps preserve the biodiversity of our local ecosystems. Second, it protects native plants and wildlife that depend on these ecosystems. Lastly, it maintains the aesthetic and recreational value of our natural spaces.
