plants do not have the natural biological control agents from their home environments and thus have unfair advantage over natives. They are invasive. Though exotic plants are not new to the area, the impacts of invasive exotics are increasingly serious. Native species are being displaced and the processes of forest succession are being stopped by the overwhelming presence of such plants as garlic, mustard, kudzu, mile-a-minute vine, Oriental bittersweet, tree of heaven and others. Without controls, it may become impossible to maintain the Park’s designated federal wilderness in a natural untrammeled condition. By presidential Executive Order #13112, the National Park Service and other federal agencies are directed to control invasive species.
This National Public Lands Day at the Meadow event is part of a larger program for increasing public volunteerism in national parks and is made possible by a grant from the National Park Foundation and Tauck Foundation. ARAMARK Convention and Tourism Services, the authorized concessioner responsible for providing lodging and other visitor services in the park, invites people interested in staying overnight to contact them for reservations at (800) 999-4714.
