\lettrine[lraise=0.0, nindent=1pt]{D}{espite} walking around what is obviously disturbed spaces, I still see quite a few native species. They're just not as noticeable, either because they're trees and thus not something I'm paying attention to, or because they're not as showy as some of the introduced species that surround them. (That showiness may explain why early immigrants brought these plants with them.)
