English Ivy being sold on craigslist online

Janis,
Thank you so much for reporting the English Ivy for sale via Craigslist. This species is a state listed class B noxious weed. As such, the sale of this species, its varieties and cultivars is prohibited under state law. I have contacted the seller and notified them that they are in violation of Oregon law.
Ultimately the Oregon Department of Agriculture is tasked with enforcement of noxious weed laws. They have been notified through the Oregon Invasive Hotline as well, and will take additional action if needed.
Thanks again for reporting these weeds. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional questions.
Sam
