Invasive Plants of Cape Breton

Cape Breton has outstanding ecosystems of great beauty, that are being threatened with invasion by plants that overwhelm sublime complex natural plant communities. These are the basis of survival for all animals, including us. This environmental pollution has the ability to reproduce itself. It is far worse than litter. This is happening because "you don't know what you've got 'til its gone." We see the landscape rapidly changing and are fighting back. We hope we are not alone.
