A group of volunteers mostly from Larry H. Miller businesses walk together with shovels and bags up Red Butte Canyon in Utah to pull the Myrtle spurge on April 26, 2018. What was once billed as a “waterwise” perennial by Utah nurseries has proven to be an eco-nightmare after the plant escaped residential yards and spread into the Wasatch foothills, where it is forming thick monocultures that crowd out native plants, destabilize soils and undermine biodiversity. Many botanists now consider Utah’s spurge infestation a crisis, but they have few resources to combat its advance. (Al Hartmann/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP)
