Did you know there’s a type of bamboo that’s native to the United States?
It’s called rivercane, and it once grew near most rivers and streams. But then, it was nearly wiped out.
As Roxy Todd reports, a group made up mostly of volunteers is working to restore the plant in Southwest Virginia.

Great to hear of a once native plant being returned to our rivers & streams in Virginia. Hope it chokes out the non-native Japanese knot weed so prolific along our rivers now.
