BELLINGHAM - Get help removing Scotch broom, a noxious weed, by borrowing the Weed Wrench tool for free.
Offered through the Whatcom County Noxious Weed Control Board, the tool is designed to uproot the garden ornamental from Europe that has bright yellow flowers about 3/4-inch long and shaped like pea flowers.
An evergreen shrub, Scotch broom also can be as tall as 10 feet.
Because they're not native to the state and have few natural enemies, noxious weeds can spread widely and destroy native plant and animal habitat.
Borrow the Weed Wrench by calling 715-7470.
See pictures of Scotch broom by going online to co.whatcom.wa.us/publicworks and clicking on "Weed Control."
Reach KIE RELYEA at kie.relyea@bellinghamherald.com or call 715-2234.
