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.
