    This grove located on the Joliet Training Area in Illinois is an example of invasive plant species overgrowing and taking over an environment, April 22. In addition to impacting natural habitats, the invasive plant species also impacts the Army Reserve’s ability to utilize the land. “Our ultimate objective here is to keep these training lands viable so Soldiers can use them,” said 88th Regional Support Command wildlife biologist, Randy Berry. “The biggest obstacles we have are the different types of brush invasive species choking out the land and making it unusable to anyone. You can’t walk through it, you can’t drive through it – they just make it unusable.”
