For as long as I can remember, my dad (now 72) has been killing knapweed. Used to carry a weed wacker and herbicides in his trunk and pull over and have at it whenever he spotted it along side the road.

Retired from USFS 7 years ago, but still occasionally works the radio and maps when they get short handed during fire season.

The Forestry Service has long since been hijacked by the enviros. It's sad how the agency has become the enemy.

Yup. There's no saving it now because USFS personel have been totally brainwashed by government universities. "Leave it to the professionals to do their jobs" would be a disastrous policy.
