@richbacolor @rangergabe Yes, plant names can cause misconceptions. A common statement heard at our RET sites, “Are you getting rid of the weeds?” Our conversations brought about a shift in thinking. Appreciate the Dr. Carver book resource.

@rangergabe Agree 😄

[Britney Christensen @britlc3]

@rangergabe Yes. It’s definitely a journey.
