Comment Period | Ended on 12/8/2023 |
Through my position at Friends of the Lower Appomattox River and previously at James River Parks System, I engage volunteers to help remove our invasive species along our natural river corridors. The plants that are throttling our native tree populations include English Ivy (Hedera helix) and Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis). Taking over the understory are Privet bushes (Ligustrum vulgare). These plants are extremely damaging and should be recognized as such.
Thank you for moving forward on this!
