Mile 218 - Agate Beach, State Wayside, Little Creek - June 6, 2009

Report Details

Near the path at the north section of Agate Beach there is a patch of yellow flag iris at the margin of the vegetation line and the beginning of the sand. Along side the path is evident erosion due to water stream and it is likely the iris made its way down this stream. If it is truly flag iris it is considered a noxious weed. I will report it on line to 1-800 Invader hotline.
