Commentary: All of Pennsylvania’s invasive species are not created equal

The author writes that it seems to him that invasives are only acceptable when they’re making governing organizations money. (File photo by Oak Duke)

At what point should an invasive species be accepted or even celebrated as a part of our environment? Recent articles from this publication have my head spinning from the careless actions of specific governing organizations.
I paraphrase: “New regulations require boaters to clean their watercraft before leaving or entering a fishery to slow the spread of invasives.” Flip the page … “The U.S. Forest Service releases beetles native to Japan to help control hemlock woolly adelgid, also from Japan.” Hmmm. Interesting tactic.
