Most homeowners and many gardeners are simply not aware of the damage that these invasive plants are causing to our natural areas as well as our farmlands.  I live in Rockbridge Co., own 118 acres of pasture and woodlands and am spending 10's of thousands of dollars to a company that is eradicating autumn olive, honeysuckle, multiflora rose(all sp. originally planted here  intentionally), and japanese stiltgrass over a 5 year period.  Most of my neighbors simply cannot afford to spend that kind of money and/or manpower.  It feels like we are merely tilting at windmills unless there are more stringent regulations that will stop these noxious plants from being sold in the first place.
