After a lot of planning, 2,000 volunteers removed more than 760 m3 of Amur bush honeysuckle from 30 acres of land along Fall Creek during a single day. The paper is Open Access and can be read or downloaded by <a href=\"http:\/\/er.uwpress.org\/content\/33\/3\/316.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">clicking here<\/a>. It presents the work in the context of Civic Ecology Practice. I think this framework is a way to connect ecological restoration with broader civic issues. I also think invasive nonnative plants as visual pollution is an under-appreciated issue. This project was the basis of a paper I presented at the 2015 SER MWGL Chapter Annual Meeting in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-92 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/restorationnewsmidwest.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/dolan.jpg\" alt=\"Dolan\" width=\"526\" height=\"359\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Rebecca Dolan, Friesner Herbarium and Center for Urban Ecology, Butler University. \u00a0SER MWGL Indiana Representative.
