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.
