Citizen Science
Poison ivy grows along trails, woodland edges, and park borders you may already walk through, and knowing it's actively spreading in your region helps you recognize and avoid it before a painful rash ends your season outdoors.
A community naturalist spotted and submitted a verified sighting of western poison ivy near Emily. The observation met iNaturalist's research-grade standard, meaning multiple people agreed on the identification. Western poison ivy is a native plant that causes a blistering skin rash on contact, so tracking where it grows helps hikers and gardeners stay safe.
