 “Invasive
Species—Regulation by Fraud”-By Fred V. Grau, Jr.,
President Grasslyn, Inc., Tenth Annual National Conference on
Private Property Rights (PRFA, Albany, N.Y., October 14, 2006)
Invasive species rules are already having negative impact
on ranchers, farmers, sportsmen, and boaters. “White
listing” in accord with the precautionary principle
requires that you have to prove that a species doesn’t
cause harm before you can trade in it. The concept of “biological
pollution” is starting to bring U.S. EPA jurisdiction
over aquatic invasive species. Invasive species laws are a federal
funding mechanism to The Nature Conservancy.

 “Invasive
Species—Intrusive Regulation” - By Robert J. Smith,
President, Center for Private Conservation, Washington, D.C.,
Speech at the Seventh Annual Conference on Private Property Rights
(PRFA, October 2003)
Invasive species are everywhere. If the Greens get an invasive
species program started, they’ll have an Office of
Invasive Species or Invasive Species Program so that they can
take all the things they dislike, whether it is crown vetch or
whatever, and put them on the list and then start eradicating
them, and that is going to mean an end to your private property.

 “Beware
the Intrusive Invasive Species Act” - By Nate Dickinson
(PRFA, September 5, 2003)
A wildlife biologist’s common sense discussion
of S.525, the National Aquatic Invasive Species Act of 2003,
warning that the bill provides more for expansive regulatory
bureaucracy than for the practical protection from invasive species.

- “An
Innovative Approach to Natural Area Restoration” —
by Nate Dickinson, Wildlife Biologist (PRFA, July 22, 2002)
Nate Dickinson’s insights about Michael Shaw’s
restoration of native species on his coastal California property.
Instead of relying on herbicides, burning, or grazing to eliminate
exotic plants, Mr. Shaw used scientifically directed human energy
to release the native seedbank, working past successive invasions
of other unwanted plants toward bountiful results.
