Another right reason, wrong thing, I saw when out walking the dog today, was a planting of invasive, non-native Rhododendron in a public open space. The open space is owned by the National trust. That would be the same Rhododendron that Dorset wildlife Trust that spent 50 years removing from Brownsea Island. Planting a tree in memory of a departed loved one is usually right reason, right thing, but a Rhododendron from the garden centre is a disease spreading weed that is just cheap and wrong.

We have similar problems here with oriental bittersweet and Japanese barberry. The bittersweet smothers native plants and the barberry raises the pH of the soil so native plants can't thrive.
