Why habitat restoration? Sometimes
the biggest threat to our preserves is invasion by
alien plant species. Plants such as Amur (or bush)
honeysuckle, euonymus and garlic mustard can produce
such a dense cover of foliage that native plants cannot
survive. We've been told that Amur honeysuckle even
secretes a toxin that kills native plants! When we
restore the habitat in one of our preserves, we remove
these invasive alien plants so that native plants
and animals can thrive.

In addition, one or more of us usually winds up going to a preserve
a couple of mornings during the week to take a walk and while
they are there, they just can't help whacking some honeysuckle.
If you would like to join one of these walks, please call (513.922.
2104) or email Tim Sisson and he'll let you know when and where
to meet.
