Agree -- add English Ivy, Chinese Privet
 

I agree with the proposal to amend the noxious weed list. I also agree with other comments that other plants such as English Ivy should also be added to the noxious weed list. I would recommend the Board refer to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's list of invasive plants species; many of these plants should also be added to the noxious weed list. These plants are taking over our parks and properties and damaging ecosystems. Please consider amending the noxious weed list further to include more invasive species.
