Information for Volunteers
The potential for Beach Vitex to crowd out native dune plants and impede sea turtle nesting is increasing. At this time, it is important that you do not remove the plant. Scientists and volunteers are working hard to record and monitor the location of the plant in order to determine how widespread the problem is and how fast Beach Vitex is spreading.
Educating yourself is the best thing you can do. The South Carolina Beach Vitex Task Force will be conducting plant identification classes this spring and summer. Check this site for event announcements.
If you see this plant anywhere in your beach community, particularly on the dunes or beach itself, record its location by a street address, near-by landmarks, or with a GPS unit and report the information using the report form below. Please also report locations where beach vitex was looked for but not found. This will help us to assess the extent of beach vitex.
