Cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica) is labeled as one of the 10 WORST weeds in the world, and it's ravaging the Southeastern states such as Alabama and Florida. This invasive grass can entirely smother ecosystems like the beloved longleaf pine, can cost landowners massive amounts of money, and can even threaten human lives! Cogon grass is no joke! In this video we go on a journey to see how bad it can get, and what we can do to stop it.

This episode was brought to you by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries' Cogongrass Outreach and Education Program (agi.alabama.gov). They work to raise awareness about cogongrass and partner with a variety of entities to help get it under control.

We would also like to give a shoutout to our friends at The Longleaf Alliance, Alabama Forestry Commission, and Covington County Conservation District who helped make this episode possible.

Finally, the following groups are actively working to defeat cogongrass and deserve a mention as well: U.S. Forest Service, Florida Forest Service,
NRCS, and Alabama Forestry Association.
