Thank you so much for contacting the Oregon Invasives Hotline, and for submitting these reports. It appears that you have been a lot of work to control invasives at Milo McIver Park. I applaude your efforts.
I would be very interested in talking with you about invasive species management on the park. I know there are a number of priority invaders that have been identified at Milo McIver, and I would happy to work with you or other park staff to combat these invaders. Please fell free to contact me for furthur information.
Thanks again for reporting these invaders, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Sam
