I have recently, actually indirectly through letterboxing, become
involved with a little preserve in Lake George NY and one of the
resposibilites that we have to to keep a look out for invasive plant
species, in fact we have a list of five that we really monitor.
My question to you and why is has your local parks and rec organization
or town government made you aware of invasive plant species and why it
is impotant to erraticate them. I ask this as I didn't even know there
was an issue until I read a brochour that was placed in the kiosk of a
local preserve.
Letterboxers, being outdoor and looking through the woods are ideal in
keeping an eye on these pests in out local parks and preserves.
Just want to know if there word is getting out.

I believe the DEP site in CT has a list of invasive species here. My
mom has told me many of them, like purple loosestrife which I have
seen a lot of this year.

While we may have other invasive plant species in our forests around
Kernville, the most dangerous one is the illegal pot crops.
If you happen to run across drip tubing while hiking/letterboxing just
leave the area ASAP.
Then notify your local agency.

I manage two wildlife refuges and we have our own brochures as well as state
issued brochures about invasive species. I also run education programs for
homeowners and hikers about invasives.and they're not just plants but
animals too such as wooley adelgids and pine borers etc. In the
environmental field invasive species are one of the most pressing
environmental issues, just behind climate change facing the world today.
