Agree with the noxious weed list.
 

 

I vehemently urge the state to add the 12 more species to the noxious weed list along with English ivy. It has become exhausting mentally,  physically & financially to remove these plants. They are destroying the landscape,  the biodiversity of the land.  Almost overnight with certain species like autumn olive & burning bush. The landscape looks so different from five years ago on my property,  on local trails & along the road side. They fat content of invasive berries is inadequate,  basically diet coke.
