We are indeed being invaded. Invaded by quickly spreading plants some of which can cause us physical harm upon contact.
Case in point, Wild Chervil (Anthriscus Sylvestris) also called Cow Parsley, is here in Jericho, Vermont. This plant forms dense stands that outcompete native plant species. The plant can damage forage crops.
Wild Chervil is blooming right now in Jericho, Vermont.
Wild Chervil contains toxins that can cause minor skin irritations so use caution and wear protective gloves and other skin coverage when handling this plant.

Hello neighbors,
Thanks to all the positive support from those we encountered on our morning of environmental community service. My husband and I filled 3 black trash bags with invasive Chervil this morning - we were working In the ROW on Plains between Browns Trace and Skunk Hollow.
This plant looks like Queen Anne's lace, but it is blooming right now. It is listed as a noxious weed in our state so the early efforts of control will hopefully go a long way.
To read more about this plant follow this link. I will also post this information on the Conservation Commission page of the Jericho Town website.
Contact me if you want to learn how to ID this plant and assist with removal. The idea is to pull it before it goes to seed and before any mowing spreads it along the ditches in town.
Here are photos of some of the Chervil plants Sabina and her husband removed on Plains road in Jericho.
