Invasive plant species

Ashland has many decorative plants that were placed in the area without understanding the ecological devastation that could occur.

If you’re in need of some rage room/ destroy something to make it better, these plants can be found all over Ashland and surrounding areas. Feel free to remove these plants from existence, while keeping in mind we cannot eradicate the plants entirely, but we as people can continuously make it difficult for the plants to spread.

While helping maintain the ecosystem, please refrain from trespassing on private property.

Buckthorn

General idea is to replace the buckthorn with willow, which transplants quite easily.
