Honeysuckle is killing forests and ivy is helping, especially in the northeast/midwest. Kill all that shit, help stop it from spreading. And try to volunteer for local groups that are clearing invasive species. It’s pretty amazing seeing a forest before and after invasive species have been removed.

This is one of those things that seems like an unwinnable battle under present conditions. We’d need massive campaigns to survey for thes plants and then kill only them. I’ve only seen efforts be successful when confined to one mountain.

This seems like a project for a socialist state. A centrally-planned effort targeted at da youths to eliminate a plant species from a continent.

The good news is that controlled fires are very effective. Native plants are used to fires, fires are natural. Fire will burn away invasive plants.

Sadly it’s hard to do controlled fires when everything is so dry all the time.
