After pulling massive amounts of the invasive weed "Poison Ivy" at entrance to the Holbrook Town Forest , we can't help but wonder it other invasive weeds might be of value...

Invasive's are species that came from someplace else, and, if left unchecked, can truly take over. They generally have no native enemies, and can totally wreak havoc on the ecosystem. This eventually trickles down and can devastate the local floral and fauna.
We don't advocate eating Poison Ivy but, we sure do think that if less yard waste was dumped into the Holbrook Town Forest, then "invasive species" would be less of a problem! Please, think before you dump, and help preserve our beautiful local treasure.
