I wish they were more so!! So many of the woodlots on the L. Ontario shoreline and Niagara frontier are comprised primarily of ash, including much of one of mine, and when the canopy opens, the invasive species take over. It used to be that a chainsaw was a woodlands manager's best friend. Now, it's just an invitation for bush honeysuckle, multiflora rose, buckthorn...

 

Okay, I'll stop with the doom and gloom. It's tough to watch though. We've planted over 3000 stems on our 43 acre piece, massive diversity, all in tubes or cages - but I'm fairly sure that the deer and mice have taken out >80% of what we put in. 3' tubes for native shrubs were a joke. May as well have put neon signs saying, "Here's dinner".
