Thanks much for your report! Holly is a plant that does seem to be well on its way to becoming a woodland invasive. I will contact the Tillamook SWCD, as they are the offical designated weed control agency in Tillamook County; also I will contact the Oregon Department of Forestry. I am not exactly sure of location so will PM you for that info. Please keep in mind that holly is not a listed invasive, and that ODF funding has been drastically reduced due to the state budget, so there is no guarantee that any action will be taken.

That said, we still very much appreciate your time and trouble in reporting and encourage further reports inthe future!
