Last fall, hikers discovered a patch of Mile-a-Minute Vine at the southeastern edge of the proposed Shenandoah Mountain National Scenic Area (SMNSA). Located along Hankey Mountain portion of Wild Oak Trail, this is the first known occurrence of this fast-spreading invasive plant in or near the SMNSA. It can completely cover and overwhelm native plant communities and kill trees. Some call it the Kudzu of the north.
In order to protect native plant communities and wildlife habitat on Shenandoah Mountain from the harmful effects of Mile-a-Minute, trail user groups and naturalists are uniting on June 3 to eliminate this patch of Mile-a-Minute Vine before it spreads.
