Poison Ivy in Guildwood

Toxicodendron radicans, better known as poison ivy
(older synonyms are Rhus toxicodendron and Rhus radicans),
is a poisonous North American plant that is well known for its production of urushiol, a clear liquid compound found within the sap of the plant that causes an itching rash in
most people who touch it.

Please be careful while walking along the shoreline or in our parks.

Poison ivy grows throughout much of North America, including the Canadian Maritime provinces, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and all U.S. states east of the Rockies.
