MAJOR INVASIVES AND WEEDS RUIN PART OF CHICOPEE PARK

From top left, clockwise: 1.) Friends supporter standing in front of invasives and weeds over 7 ft. high. This forest area is ruined permanently. 2.) Picture of area directly across from the harvested area, showing the forest state there with no harvesting done. This area is TOWARD the residences. This clearly demonstrates that the harvest caused the issue. 3.) Friends supporter Claudia Hurley standing next to invasive plants and WEEDS! 4.) Another view of the heavy permanant invasive and weedy damage

NOTE some of the taller plants seen are actually Pokeweed.The invasives can be seen in the background and climbing the trees.It is the position of DCR that Pokeweed, which is a natural Occurance, will not be addressed, since it isn't an "invasive", even though Its presence is due to the harvesting.
