An ancient Irish rainforest, overwhelmed by invasive sika deer and rhododendron. As these trees die of old age, only the rhodo remains.
Most of Ireland's only 1% or so of surviving native woodland is dying, almost all due to invasives like sika, goats, sheep, and rhodo.
We could do SO much better.

When a native rainforest is overgrazed, leaving only mosses, not only does it stop the trees from regenerating and strip out the diverse flora, it prepares the ground for invasive plants like rhodo to seed in by the million.
The rhodo is largely just a *byproduct* of the core problem: overgrazing.

How does invasive rhodo fare in a *healthy* rainforest, rather than the usual, severely overgrazed one?
It grows far more slowly, and likely doesn't start flowering/producing seed nearly as early in life.
Rhodo is really just a symptom of another, core problem: severe ecosystem dysfunction. 🌍

There are reportedly 100s of feral goats – as well as countless sika deer – in Glengarriff's upper reaches.
Both are highly invasive alien species, devastating what remains of the natural rainforest ecosystem, promoting rhodo infestation, and spreading Lyme disease.
How is all this still ignored?

What the heck? It's the first day of Autumn. There are a dozen or so starting to open on the top of the rhodo. 🌱 #gardening #HappyAutumn

A rainbow graces Killarney National Park, Ireland's largest remaining native rainforest.
Clearing invasive sika deer, goats, + rhodo would make the place an ecological gem of global stature, instead of the hollowed-out shell it is.

Good morning to my friends! Enjoy a moment of Beacon Hill Park and its rhodo glory!

With invasive rhodo, there's little point in removing it only in my own place, since if adjacent ground is infested, infinite seeds will just continue to blow in. So I try to stay on top of neighbour's properties too.
They're happy with the arrangement, because rhodo is poisonous to livestock.

I spent yesterday hunting invasive rhodo in a neighbour's rainforest (with permission, of course). I do a sweep every few years.
Tough work, but it's active natural ecosystem conservation in the field, and *immensely* satisfying.
