Subject: RE: Swann Park/Chapman Forest plant list.

As we walked though Swann Park, Marc described the extensive work done to
remove non-native invasive (NNI) plants. These efforts obviously paid off,
as we saw only minuscule numbers of remaining NNIs. At the same time, we
were able to identify a long list of native plants. After leaving Swawn Park
along the Mattawoman tributary, we entered land owned by a local homeowner's
association within which no effort has been made to control NNIs.
Immediately, we observed that the NNIs (mainly Microstegium vivminium) had
overwhelmed the native plants on the ground on both sides of the trail.
Other than tall trees, it became almost impossible to identify anything more
than a handful of native plants. If anyone needs to be convinced of the
benefits of controlling NNIs, this hike would certainly convert any
non-believers.
