Edith G. Read Natural Park & Wildlife Sanctuary
Degradation Description
Edith G. Read Sanctuary has a history of various human disturbances. The Park was once home to a greenhouse, which in addition to spread of invasives through more natural means (birds, wind) served as a source of non-natives that would come to dominate the landscape. The parcel had previously been the site of an old amphitheater and been complete overgrown with invasive species, such as Porcelain Berry (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata), Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum) and Honeysuckle bush.
