[MAIPC] Rebuttal of NY Times anti-natives oped by Klinkenborg

[Stephen Hiltner]

For anyone irked by Verlyn Klinkenborg's Sept. 7 oped in the New York
Times, in which he argues against distinguishing between native and
non-native species, I've researched and written a point by point
rebuttal<http://newscompanion.blogspot.com/2013/09/going-negative-on-natives-new-york.html>.
I
also mention two previous NY Times opeds dismissive of native plants, by
George Ball and Sean Wilsey, and provide background information on the
incident that prompted Klinkenborg's oped--the proposal to thin eucalyptus
from a forest in San Francisco.

Does anyone remember a NY Times oped that extols the benefits of native
plants and habitat restoration? Surely there must be some.
