Taber residents asked to help eliminate intrusive weed

An Alberta regulated noxious weed has been found growing in parts of Taber.

The Taber Police Service Community Standards Unit says Field Bindweed has been spotted growing on lawns and boulevards.

Police say the pink or purple flowers look quite nice on first sight, but are actually quite intrusive. Field Bindweed can easily overcome native species and spread if not controlled or eliminated.

Taber residents are asked to take measures to control the spread and growth of the vine.

For more information on Field Bindweed, contact the Taber Police Service.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
