Quail Hollow Ranch Reaction Paper

Decent Essays

The field trip to Quail Hollow Ranch had been a nice implement of invasive plant removal since invasive we have talked about invasive species in class, so the task of removing French broom at Quail Hollow Ranch gave the concept of invasive species more of a “real world” aspect. By “real world” aspect, I am implying that personally seeing a restoration site and uprooting the plants yourself gives more understanding since you’re able to see the density of the nonnative plant population compared to native species and can truly see the labor that goes into restoring a habitat. Furthermore, I personally was unaware of French broom, also known as Genista monspessulana, being an invasive species so the prereading was quite interesting and informative.
