Can you identify this plant and tell me a little bit about it? I have a bunch coming up in my yard and I don't know whether to pull it or not. Does it have wildlife value? Please advise. Thank you.

The plant in your photo looks like it may be Fallopia japonica, Japanese knotweed, an invasive plant. The plant should be removed. See the attached publication from the Plant Conservation Alliance for more information and control http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/faja1.htm
