The study of invasive species in wilderness

Invasive species read no signs, have no rules and obey only the laws of nature

Please join Enhanced Wilderness to get the message out that the treat of invasive species in wilderness study areas far exceeds the low impacts of ohv on designated trails. Invasive species do not read signs and have no limits other than natures. Invasive species obey no laws other than nature. Invasive species travel by air, water and ground using every mode of travel. Birds, turtles, rats, snakes, deer, bear and countless other animals are possible transporters of invasive species. Once an invasive species is established in a wilderness study area there is very little chance of detection because of limited observers access. The very fact that it is a wilderness study area may actually destroy the qualities favored by wilderness designation. Once made a wilderness it's only use is for enhancement. The wilderness advocates are the first to call for improvements in the wilderness by removing and adding features they see as "good for wilderness". How is it that only they know "what is good for wilderness"? Many of us may have a very different view of what is "good for wilderness" and not be afraid to show these views. Who died and gave the wilderness to only a few special selected persons mostly self proclaiming to know what to remove and add to wilderness? These wilderness belong to us all and we intent to use them one way or another. Go ahead designate a wilderness. Close a trail. Make my day. Cogon.
