The fact that the noxious weeds list does not remotely reflect the scope of invasive species destroying Virginia's ecosystem is a travesty.

Blue Ridge PRISM, DWR, and the Virginia Native Plant Society should have a direct vote on additions to this list.

The entire I-95 corridor is nothing but Valley Bradford Pear. Spotted Lantern Fly feast on limitless stands of Tree of Heaven. Autumn Olive and Amur Honeysuckle dominate our forest understory. Japanese Honeysuckle, English Ivy, Chinese Wisteria, and so many other invasive vines are choking out our native plants. Toxic Nandina berries are killing migratory birds. 

When will y'all take action to stop this madness?
