Task · part of 1. Prepare a field notebook, and identify fifteen species
1(c). How each is used, and whether it is native or introduced
Required
The important ways each is used by humans or wildlife, plus whether the species is native or was introduced. If it was introduced, say whether it is considered invasive or potentially invasive.
Notes and warnings
Note. Two questions in one part, and the second is easy to miss: as well as how each species is used, say whether it is native or was introduced, and if introduced, whether it is considered invasive or potentially invasive. Your state forestry or agriculture department publishes the invasive list.
