Wildlife Conservation - Invasive Species

Today we learned how to identify a fern that isn't originally from the Miami area.  It's growing all over and Deering wanted us to help pull it all up.  They only want native species in their landscape.
 
We worked in the heat of the day for 2 hours.  We were soaking hot! Scout looks less than thrilled.  But we were able to fill 5 trash cans worth of this invasive fern.
 
We identified it by its leaf pattern.
