Commentary

Very nice job keeping your eyes out for invasives. Tansy Ragwort has spread across the state of Oregon. It's the responsibility of the individual landowner to remove Tansy because its so widespread.
It invades range lands in the West where it is toxic to livestock, invades pastures, open forests, swamps, riverbeds, coastal grasslands and disturbed areas.
Wear gloves if you decide to pull a plant. Thank you.
