National Parks

I believe the biggest issue right now for national parks is the foreign invaders. Many don't realize what problems all the invaders can cause but it's actually a lot. The animals or plants native to the region can get taken over by these new invaders which can then cause extinction. Prevention is key to this problem because say a milfoil plant is transported from the one lake to another it makes it nearly impossible to get rid of this invader with out killing everything else in the lake. It's kind of a domino effect that is very difficult to reverse.

    Yeah invasive species are a big problem. Look at the beetles destroying all the trees in Colorado

    In the Cascades, there is a campsite called Pleasant valley. It has recently been renamed Pleas-ant valley , following the recent ant invasion. The ant hills are nearly four feet tall and are built every 20 feet or so. They make camping there unbearable, and they are starting to spread to other campsites. The forest system is starting to notice, but it might be too late.
