Urgent: Let's Pull This Invasive Weed

There are colonies of garlic mustard in the east ravine and whole swathes in the west ravine. It would be great if a group of neighbors could assist in pulling this weed (see reasons below). It is going to seed now and the seeds will be dispersing within a couple of weeks. If you help, put the plants IN THE GARBAGE, NOT AS GREEN WASTE, as composting will just cause more seed dispersion. I have asked the city to pick up my bags of GM from the curbside at the top of the ravine. The root snaps easily, so grasp each stem close to the base with care and ease the plant up. Garlic mustard spreads into high quality woodlands upland and floodplain forests, not just into disturbed areas. Invaded sites undergo a decline on native herbaceous cover within 10 years. Garlic mustard alters habitat suitability for native insects and thereby birds and mammals. This European exotic occurs now in 27 midwestern and northeastern states and in Canada. Garlic mustard is a MDA Prohibited noxious weed (Controlled List) in Minnesota.
