Ravenna grass
An ornamental grass turned riparian invader Take action in your neighborhood: Number One: Don’t plant it! Cut plumes (seed heads) off before they seed. This may need to be done multiple times every summer/fall as new stalks emerge. If removal is desired, dig it up. Or spray with a broad spectrum contact herbicide in the fall, wait two weeks for the herbicide to move through the plant, then dig. Replace with a non-invasive ornamental grass. Help spread the word about the potential negative impacts of Ravenna grass in Moab. |
Ravenna grass (Saccharum ravennae) is a tall, dramatic bunchgrass that was introduced from Eurasia and threatens wetlands and riparian corridors in the desert southwest. This plant is highly invasive and competitive; it produces hundreds of thousands of seeds that are wind and water dispersed and germinate quickly and easily in a variety of soil and canopy conditions. |

Thank you Sandra Davey
Local artist Sandra Davey volunteered her time and talent to paint this design on a wall of a pump house in the Powerdam area that had a lot of graffiti on it. We love this new artwork ever so much. Thanks Sandra!
