Sometimes "rescuing" wildlife is the worst thing a person can do. It may be hard to not do something to help, yet that may be the very best thing you can do. The fact is, most of these "orphans" aren’t really orphans at all.

Giant Salvinia is Invading our Lakes and Rivers
This invasive plant creates a dense mat on top of the water and spreads very fast. It hurts fishing, swimming and boating.
