How about the berries of foreign plants? I often see strange bouquets with weird berry-bearing plants.

But then would you also cut down non-native trees? Horse chestnuts, for example?


That's probably going a bit too far doncha think. It's daft to try and change what's happened in the past, but that doesn't mean you should perpetuate the problem in the future.

I'm not suggesting we should do it - just illustrating a point. It seems a little disproportionate to be worrying about a few berries when sites are often surrounded by non-native flora and fauna. It also seems to me that the erosion caused by our collective visits must surely perpetrate far more damage than the depositing of a seed or two? Again, just trying to explore the issue....
