Purple loosestrife grows in large numbers along the river and the NGPEPMT began spraying it the summer of 2005. It's a huge concern as an exotic and a definite problem (Schneider email to Wilson on 8/24/2005).

Notes
Park Species Detail: Churchill et al. (1988) reported that this species is well established along the river and was observed from the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge east to sandbars 2 mi east of the Meadville Bridge acrross the Niobrara. Purple loosestrife is an aggressive adventive and poses a potentially serious threat to native plants in marshes and on sandbars along the river. Further localities for the Niobrara and Nebraska have been recorded by Churchill et al., 1976 and Sutherland and Kaul, 1986., Park Species Data Source: Rolfsmeier. 2001.
