Title:
Kudzu
Caption:
Kudzu (Pueraria lobata), was introduced from Japan to
help control soil erosion. It has spread rapidly through
the Southeastern U.S. and poses a serious threat to
many native species of plants. A rapidly growing invasive,
Kudzu has spread over an estimated 7 million acres in
the American Southeast. Kudzu can grow up to a foot
a day, usually forming a broad carpet of vines covering
anything that stands still, including forests, fields,
and power-lines. The Refuge System aims to launch an
early detection and rapid response program to address
invasive species on National Wildlife Refuges. Volunteers
at refuges are key to combating invasive plants.
