    Invasive species take more than they give. There are many pollinators that have specialized themselves to plants native to their area. Pollinators feed birds in their caterpillar form, which in turn feed many other species that prey on birds and their eggs. I see some comments insinuating that invasive plants aren’t so bad. I would love for these people to walk in a forest that’s purely invasive and then one that purely native, the silence may help them understand.

      Very true something like an Australian pine can kill a forest and create a dead understory

      Plant some squash , all the worms ( catapillars) you could ever want , I wish the birds could control a pickle worm infestation, wasp are way more voracious imo but people don't like them bc they sting

    Balsam pear is awful. It’s taken over my back yard and kills everything it touches.

    Invasive could be another word for....we just haven't gotten there on our own yet. Birds spread invasive species all the time. They require no watering and still trap more carbon than a lawn that needs mowing 🎉🎉

      ​@rustyshackleford3078 some people think the only thing needed to save the planet is a reduction in CO2. I see people all the time that have no understanding of real environmental threats. The media has made people believe that greenhouse gasses are the number one threat to the environment. I think global warming is the least of our issues.

      You’re correct. There does need to be management though. The management, done properly will restore the environment to a better healthier system
