Wanted out: Giant Hogweed

The Halifax Regional Municipality is keeping an eye on Giant Hogweed, as well as several other invasive plant species in the municipality.

Giant Hogweed, which has been spotted in several areas in HRM, can cause severe skin and eye problems — possibly blindness.

Richard MacLellan, Manager of HRM’s Sustainable Environment Management Office, said concerned residents should contact Marian Munro at the Nova Scotia Museum for confirmation at 424-3564.
