I boggled a bit over some things--solitary shoots of purple loosestrife, for example. I went on an invasive species walk (SPOILER ALERT FOR A POST I HOPE I WRITE LATER THIS WEEK BUT DON'T COUNT ON IT) and discovered that they were mostly managing native invasive species, to keep them from re-wilding the island in the wake of a decline in cattle and sheep grazing effects.

I described the approach I took at Mass Audubon, "if it ain't from New England rip it out" and was met with stunned looks.
