Commentary
Hi Doug, Thanks so much for reporting butterfly bush! I will forward this to contacts at the USFS and Lane County Public Works to make sure they are aware of the infestation. I am not sure how quickly it will be controlled, but it is really valuable to have documentation of this species' spread. Therefore we really value your report! Thanks again and keep the reports coming!
