Dangerous beauty: the battle against Scotch broom

July 16th, 2011

Cast against the abundant greenery of western Oregon, the splashes of yellow turn summer hillsides into an organic impression of fans packing Autzen Stadium in the fall.

Too bad it’s a non-native plant, otherwise known as a ”weed.”

The plant providing the yellow – Scotch broom – is an invasive species estimated to cost Oregon millions of dollars a year in lost timber production, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

In Eugene, parks officials are waging a battle to beat back the Scotch broom and make room for native plants in the Delta Ponds area, along the Ridgeline Trail and elsewhere. Meanwhile, Florence residents say the plant is reaching epidemic proportions along the Oregon Coast.
