my dissertation on poaching in 2008 and it is an issue in Ohio. I am worried now
because we have out of state people swarming the area fracking! If the frack
pads themselves and out of state vehicles (carrying invasives back and forth)
are not bad enough, we have invasive people so to speak, crossing properties
without any thought to privacy issues. We had one lady find dynamite charges set
up on her land in Belmont county Ohio... she was going to build a house and took
a walk around, the company claims it was all a big mistake but beware, I see
fracking trucks withdrawing water illegally from hidden areas as well as the
local MWCD lakes. This is so ridiculous! And then the earth quakes as well as
spent frack fluid being poured out in wooded regions.</font></span></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for all you have just put out there. Agreed.
<div>I really believe WNC residential and commercial development and periodic
forest service/DOT maintenance probably do more damage to annihilate our
herbal medicines in the area, more than poachers ever will.</div>
<div>I also think that we will still have ginseng in 10-20 years because the
old-timers and their generations who harvest know how to proliferate the
species as they harvest, scattering seeds and spreading roots.</div>
<div>It will be "wild cultivated" ginseng but it will still be considered
wild. I believe Robert Eidus is trying to bring attention to the industry and
he has a right to his opinion. I hope he's wrong and we can sustain our wild
ginseng but if more people are moving into western NC and the developments
sprawl outwards, we may not have much of a forest to grow it!</div>
