Invasive species control: Goutweed
This activity consists of manually uprooting goutweed, a problematic species for biodiversity.
Goutweed poses a significant threat on the mountain, rapidly spreading and outcompeting native plants. Once established, its rhizomes form an extensive network, choking out other species. Even a small piece of rhizome can regenerate into a new plant. To address this issue, Les Amis de la montagne aims to control goutweed and conduct experimental monitoring with the help of volunteers.
