The Elberta Dunes need our help. Volunteer to beat back this nasty plant.Don’t let its cute blossoms fool you: baby’s breath is a menace to Michigan’s dunes and beaches. This invasive shrub stops the essential, natural processes of our shifting sands. As a result, native species get overwhelmed, out-competed, and can even die off.
To make matters worse, baby’s breath turns to tumbleweeds that can each spread 13,000+ seeds!
You can protect Michigan’s dunes and beaches. Be careful not to plant wildflower packets that include baby’s breath, report invasive species when you see them, and join a baby’s breath removal workbee near you.
Our partners at Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network and Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy are leading baby’s breath volunteer days at Elberta Beach. Visit habitatmatters.org to sign up!
