Current records on iNaturalist of Poison Ivy by Lawson’s Brook. View example post.
In addition to the unwelcome invasive species, Eastern Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) – a native species – also occurs along the brook.
While it is most concentrated near Williams Lake (notably on or close to the dam), there are patches of it further down the Brook.
Fortunately, steps taken to avoid contact with Poison Ivy will also help to avoid ticks.
