Sorry, native species of plant life.

The word "may" is probably playing it too safe.

Now that I've had a bit of a think and before I go out to lay down
mulch and encourage euroworm migration into a sandy area most recently
occupied by forsythia, it would seem a reasonable bet that some plant
species have been lost to Euroworm's penchant for survival in the
colder northern climates and appetite for leaf litter.


this is a fact, also the removing of
the leaf cover opens up the forest
to more deer grazing and digging
which is very destructive and
challenges the previously less
exposed species further. it's
a keystone change.

and now here in Michigan we
have wild pigs getting established.
you think deer/raccoons cause
garden troubles...
