It worked a lot for Japanese Stilt grass at Catoctin National Park after managed hunts reduced deer to 20/square mile, and completely with deer exclosure at Woodend Sanctuary. The problem is resources are needed to fund the research. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>The research could include removal of the WLBG by mechanical or herbicide treatment after the hunts or exclosures.
