Another question - is there a group or gov agency in NS that is actively ke=

Short description
Dog-strangling vine is found in parts of Ontario, southern Quebec and sever=
al American states. This plant grows aggressively by wrapping itself around=
tress and other plants, and can grow up to two metres high. This forms den=
se stands that overwhelm and crowd out native plants and young trees, preve=
nting forest regeneration. The plant produces bean-shaped seed pods for to =
seven centimetres long and pink to dark purple star-shaped flowers
