Organizing volunteers to take on Phragmites (posted January 2001) 

What makes this news so extraordinary is that the common reed (Phragmites australis) was prevented from spreading within the fen mat by helpful volunteers. Local citizens, high school groups and organizations such as People Making a Difference, and Landmark Volunteers contributed to preventing the spread of three acres of invasive reed.
