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.
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.
