Martfeld in the fight against the Jakobskreuz herb: the secret weapon blood bear!

In the municipality of Martfeld, the Jakobskreuz herb becomes a pressing challenge: At the last council meeting, the aggressive plant was again on the agenda. In order to master the problem, a container was set up to combat, and Mayor Michael Albers (SPD) emphasized that it was late, but "better too late than not at all". An innovative approach to combating the unpleasant plant is the use of the bloodbear - a butterfly whose larvae get rapidly over the Jakobskreut herb.

The Greens are now calling for a public event to bring the control methods closer to the citizens. "We need 300 euros for these purposes," said a representative of the Greens. Mayor Bernd Bormann said positively: "We are planning an event in the region anyway." At the same time, it was pointed out that the blood bear was under protection, and private citizens should not use chemical means to combat the Jakobskreutkraut in order not to become punishable.
