Wild Parsnip Pastinaca sativa with yellow head behind a fence at a conservation area in Ontario Very toxic plant

---

The prolific spread and dense growth of Wild Parsnip throughout Eastern Ontario in recent years is seriously escalating this health risk in the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville. During much of July, August and early September wild parsnip is one of the most visible yellow-flowered weeds in roadside ditches, public recreation areas, around sports fields, fence rows, and along railroad tracks. It is also present on many residential properties throughout the county.
