Description of specimen

The flower looks similar to flowers of Hog weed, unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the leaves

Commentary

Great observation and photos Amber! Henderson's Angelica (angelica hendersonii), is a native to the northwest. It can easily be confused with Cow Parsnip, Giant Hogweed, and Queens Anns Lace. It prefers to grow along the coastal environment. No need for removal. Check out our website for additional information on both invasive and native vegetation: https://tillamookcountyswcd.org/

Location

We were on the walking trail of the Sitka Sedge state park, between the dike and where the trails splits into the different paths. The plant was on the inland side of the trail
