That's interesting, I did not know wild parsnip was a separate plant. We must not have that where I'm from.

And yeah, clearly Ontario is doing something right

    yeah, and I had forgotten that it was actually invasive

    apparently hogweed has been a growing issue for the past decade around here, but I can't say that I've ever noticed any myself. parsnip, on the other hand, practically lines our ditches to the point that I would consider it an actual safety concern for the general public since most people don't know that you can have severe reactions to the sap. like we're talking a ditch just completely filled with an 8-ft wide section the whole length right next to a multi-use path. obviously not every ditch, but more common than not it seems
