The invasive Himalayan and European Blackberry species are posing a threat to biodiversity and wildlife in western Oregon. While these blackberry plants are prized for their fruit, they harm the environment by out-competing native plants, overtopping trees and choking up waterways. In turn, animals have less access to their normal food and water sources. Ethos Multimedia Director Morgan Gwynn explores the issue and asks experts about what can be done to stop the blackberries from taking over.
