Because of socio-political reasons which are inappropriate to discuss. Just remember, baby steps.
Actually, the Council creating the draft is comprised of representatives from the nursery industry as well as from the scientific community. Can we say major conflict of interest in my humble opinion?
"We want to sell them to make money"
"We don't want you to sell them because we have to spend tax payers dollars cleaning them up when they jump property lines"
I do believe it was a good move including "them" given the nursery industry's lobbyists are so powerful.
We'll take all the salmon you wanna bring up here. No sense letting his efforts go to waste!
I figured it had something to do with revenue and profit. Whenever my stepdaughter asks why something is the way it is I tell her to 'follow the money'. Especially when you start talking government or regulatory bodies. Nuff said."We want to sell them to make money"
"We don't want you to sell them because we have to spend tax payers dollars cleaning them up when they jump property lines"

I was catching up on this thread.
First: the broken link www.citychicken.com -- I was curious so I googled for "city chicken" Here are the first few hits:
Now back to the topic on hand -- I just borrowed a book called Plant Communities of New Jersey -- A Study in Landscape Diversity Collins and Anderson, 1994. Soil map of the entire state, growing season zones, The 8 terrestrial plant habitats, and then the different plant community types like Mixed Oak Forest for each terrestrial habitats in the different parts of the state -- not just by county but by habitat.
I've been going over the lists of natives and lists of invasives available on-line, books from the library etc. Reading their habits and habitats, but all the information was starting to get jumbled up in my head, you know? Also, a lot of NJ native species lists focus on The Pine Barrens, which is great, but that's not really what I have in my back yard. So it was becoming increasingly frustrated that the information I was gathering was not making practical sense.
THIS book is putting the pieces of the puzzle together for me in terms of what is REALLY suitable for where I live.
I also just downloaded a really nice booklet from [url=https://www.nps.gov/plants/index.htm]Plant Conservation Alliance website[/url] called Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Area -- full of color photos for almost every plant and alternative native plant recommendation for each (28Mb pdf file) You can download it from this page: https://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/pubs/midatlantic/index.htm
It's also available as web version which is nice for indoor research purposes. [url=https://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/pubs/midatlantic/toc.htm]Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas (Web version)[/url]
