Why This Matters
Poison hemlock is a highly toxic invasive plant that poses risks to people, pets, livestock, and ecosystems. Early detection and rapid response are critical — and community participation plays a huge role in preventing further spread throughout the Creston Valley.
The Poison Hemlock Patrol helps empower residents to take action locally while supporting coordinated invasive plant management efforts.
Mission Timeline
The Poison Hemlock Patrol Missions will run until June 30, 2026, or until all available rewards have been claimed.
