JUDY'S WORK
Dedicated to the world of Invasive and Native Plants
PLANT INVADERS OF MID-ATLANTIC NATURAL AREAS
As co-author of Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas, Field Guide, Judy Fulton brought her expertise to update critical information about the most harmful and wide-ranging invasive plants on the mid-Atlantic region of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
THE BEAUTY OF NATIVE PLANT ECOSYSTEMS
The true beauty of a native ecosystem is that you start to see beyond the superficial beauty of the plants themselves—and are able to see further into the relationships of the plants to pollinators, mammals, decomposers and microbial communities. The more you learn, the more you see.
RESTORING INDIGINOUS LANDSCAPES MEANS REMOVING INVADERS
Most people don't realize when they pick up a plant in the nursery, that they may be actively harming the ecosystem by putting that plant into the ground, and their purchase encourages the nursery trade to order more of the same plant.
