The only thing that scares me here is the “good intensions monster”. This strikes me as the type of thing that gets done without a lot of knowledge of what the proper plants for an area would be. I mentioned in a previous post about how someone planted a bunch of non-native Lupines on conservation properties without realizing that the native species has a similar name. I worry that good intentioned people would put the wrong plants in the wrong environments under the banner of “native” with a worst case scenario being someone throwing seeds into remnant habitat.
