Phragmites is an invasive aquatic plant species that grows along lakes, rivers, ponds and wetlands - all common habitat for waterfowl. It can quickly and aggressively crowd out native plant species and reduce quality habitat, block access to the water and even cause safety concerns along roadways and drainages by impeding vision. Phragmites reproduces with seeds and by something called fragmentation. Anytime a segment of the plant is broken off or cut, it can actually re-root and grow a new plant, which is why Michigan’s Invasive Species Program is reminding waterfowl hunters not to use Phragmites as a camouflage material on duck boats and blinds. Instead, choose synthetic camouflage or other non-Phragmites plant materials such as cedar branches so that you’re not contributing to the spread of invasive Phragmites.
