The Movie

Kudzu: Misunderstood Weed
for high school biology and environmental science

Introduction

Kudzu was first introduced to the United States from Japan in the late 1800's. The government instituted an erosion control program in the 1930's that involved planting kudzu along roads and railways. Since then it has spread across the southeast as a pest to some and a boon to others.

In this unit you will learn more about kudzu as an invasive species and misunderstood weed, analyze photos of the plant and make a plan to remove it from an infested area.
