#Invasives
This is a very bad idea. Don't plant invasives.

As Alexis aka the Black Forager says: if you want to fuck with data centers, plant rare, indemic plants and report them to stymy them w/environmental studies

They will just burn the invasives, making them stronger, and sending them toward your homes

Still thinking about that lionfish I had the other day. Delicious fish. Eat the invasives.

I need a lot less focus on "illegals" and a lot more focus on invasives.

And even then, only if you’re somewhat lucky in what invasives are in your region. (She said, grimly, remembering the Japanese stiltgrass.)

There are many, many invasives that need to be removed in any rewilding project.

Just trying to keep invasives out, at the moment.

i have to go remove invasives so I won't be so mad

All native plants have names llike Sweet Peckerwood and all invasives are called Common Giant Skyvine

If we did this on our farm, we’d end up with a property full of invasives (spotted knapweed, autumn olive, hoary alyssum, etc) choking out natives. We would rather strategically plant native trees and bushes while removing invasives.

Damn, New Jersey struggling with the invasives, huh.

"invasives"

A native forest completely choked and dying from infestation by rhododendron.

I still hear some say that the invasive species problem is "exaggerated", that "it's all just nature".

They're very wrong. Invasives are a *human* impact, and one of the top causes of biodiversity loss on Earth.

🌱clearing invasives make way for native wildflowers like these little bluets popping up everywhere🤍💚

I should have figured out he was off when his "rescue" started breeding invasives and non-natives.
oh
i figured the guy was a bit "huh?" cuz he had those animals originally in a pretty small yard.

Le registre des espèces invasives au🇨🇦 s'est enrichi 😅😅

Arrachage d'espèces invasives mode d'emploi

all my life I have wanted a butterfly garden like you would not believe, but my mom would not let me touch her yards, and filled the earth with horrible invasives.

my city now.

Indeed, I’d rate rewilding as:
5% working out what you have
75% removing the invasives
10% planting natives (optional)
10% fencing native planting (not optional if you plant, because local fauna prefers local flora)
…
Another 20% removing invasives that didn’t take the hint…

I made a blackberry mule from class B Washington invasives

Invasives...
... Part of the story is documented here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
and here:

The photos below show the contrast in forest understory in uninvaded (top) and invaded (bottom) sites on Christmas Island by the yellow crazy ant.

Noch ein bisschen invasives Zeug raus reißen. 💪💪💪

In this together 💛

I've been doing this in my suburb and it's such a good feeling to see these invasives knocked out. It's small but definite progress, and easy to achieve with some clippers and gloves.
Invasive vines can be deadly for forests.

But this past year, scrappy groups of @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social volunteers have helped save nearly 1,000 trees across green spaces in Southeast and Northeast D.C. alone, @samdelgado.bsky.social reports:
How volunteers are fighting the vines strangling D.C.'s trees
How local residents are restoring D.C.’s green spaces — and combating the effects of climate change.
