Plus harvesting wild edible invasive exotics is a skill that can taken to other places by the voluteers and hopefully ridding the area of even more of these invasive plants.<br /><br />Regarding "invasive exotics" I have always found it interesting which exotic plants we lable invasive. Take european field grasses for instance; orchard grass, timothy, quack grass, etc all are exotic, have nearly eradicated native grasses in some areas and cover vast areas yet are not considered invasive. I know they have economic (agricultrual) value but so does purple loosestrife (honey bee crops).
