In 1983, Forestry Resources, Inc. was formed with a single mission: --- Do something to slow the spread of the much detested melaleuca tree. The invasive species was introduced in the 1920's by federal foresters looking for a way to dry up the Everglades. The melaleuca experiment backfired as the Australian import adapted to its new environment, and with no natural pests or enemies, quickly invaded and literally destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of once pristine native plant communities. Slowing the tenacious tree's spread hasn't been easy or inexpensive. The local, state and federal government began to recognize the negative economic impact of the tree in the early eighties. By that time, the destruction of wetlands, clogging of drainage ways, and invasion of grazing lands were among the many unanticipated consequences of the tree's importation. It's been estimated that the combined cost of impact, control and eradication is easily into the tens of millions of dollars annually.
