the invasive plant you refer to is phragmites, as I'm sure you know. If anyone knows anything about frag they know it's about the worst thing to happen to our lake and wetland ecosystems in the last 100 years and does NOTHING to enrich our wild places. It grows so thickly that it outcompetes all native species and doesn't provide cover for waterfowl. The govt is spending huge amounts of money to get rid of the stuff which is a huge task but if we don't fund it we'll end up losing our shorelines and marshes. It's seriously bad stuff and if you didn't know that do a bit of research, this is something worth fighting.
