Re: [ECOLOG-L] Conservation or just gardening?

Jason, I'm unaware of any clean line between conservation-oriented land management and gardening with a focus on natives. Honestly, within the context of conservation activities, I don't see the point in drawing that line. The relevant question is, are the results of conservation activities

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Conservation or just gardening?

Jason,   And if a species is beyond saving with conservation, how worthwhile is it to save that species with gardening? At this point, it might be pertinent to ask what other species are dependent (for their life processes) on the gardened species.  For example, is there an exclusive mutualism
