One of ours did this and some other park improvements (tree planting) as his project.

However, you can contact The Missouri Conservation Department at 573-751-4115 and ask for distribution and they will send you as many as you like. The two brochures I think are most informative are "Curse of the Bush Honeysuckles" and "Plants that won't stay put". You can also go to their website www.mdc.mo.gov/nathis/exotic/[1] the Missouri botanical Garden also has a section of their website at www.mobot.org/invaders[2] I hope we can work together to eliminate this threat to our forests. I am looking at this springto launch an assault on the Bush Honeysuckle in Greensfelder Park and along the highway 44 corridor. That would include West Tyson, Lone Elk, Forest 44, and some other small parks along the way. I have written my state legislators and ask them to help by getting the highway department to cut it down in the right of way along 44. Any help you could give with letter writing would be appreciated. In addition, if you have a group who want to help in the spring at Greensfelder or any other park, I have some tools at our school we could use. Thank you for your interest.
