Without taking sides re this non-native and invasive plant being in  
Cape Breton Highlands Nat. Park and what if anything to do about it,  
I'd like to inject a natural history note on J.K. that I heard from  
Zoe Lucas, and I hope I've got it correct.  On Sable Island there is  
a small "forest" of J.K., and at a certain time of the year these  
dense plants provide protective cover for small migrant birds from  
the ravages of sharp-shinned hawks.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
