Teasel Take-Out Day

Spreading throughout Mequon - Thiensville, teasel grows in tall, barbed stalks, blooming with purple and white thistle flowers in Summer.

Sinking deep taproots into the soil, teasel depletes land of nutrients and crowds out native plants, disrupts ecosystems, diminishes native plant diversity and destroys food and habitats for birds and wildlife.

Eliminating teasel is a multiple-year effort regardless of treatment, since seeds persist in the soil for several years. Getting a control on teasel now, will greatly benefit the region in years to come.
