A tangle of slender vines in green and brown with oval leaves here and there appears in a large trash can lined with a black plastic bag, in a photo taken from above. The trash can sits on grass and the photographer’s legs, in blue jeans, can be partly seen.

Today’s photo is a couple hours’ worth of work - a bunch of invasive periwinkle (Vinca minor) & invasive Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) I pulled up by the roots this evening.

When feral cats are away, potoroos and bandicoots are more likely to play When feral cats are scarce, potoroos and bandicoots forage more freely, altering their behaviour and chances of survival.

another Robin, so glad they have been spending these glorious sunny days in my yard. In winter they form flocks in my area and visit about every week. It is bitter sweet. the Starlings will seek these Robin flocks out and watch where they forage and push them off all the best berry trees. #Invasives

Goats 'delight' at Hamilton property as they destroy invasive buckthorn one bite at a time | CBC News Goats in the City arrived at the Flamborough home last week with a trailer of goats ready to bleat around the bush.

"The level of buckthorn clearing the goats accomplished in two days — by mouth no less — would normally take Feisthauer and her husband weeks if not months to pull out and chop down by hand."

One decade ago I was still concerned with invasive wildlife species taking over the few nature zoos that are left globally.

Since a few years now I am hoping for more #invasives. But they just can't make up for the total losses we see today.

This feels very surreal - because it is.

Two pvc quadrats lay next to each other on the forest floor, largely obscured by a near monoculture of invasive stilt grass. A large log and many standing trees can be seen in the background

A small section of bare ground in the center of a quadrat lies exposed after being cleared of invasive stiltgrass

What's the large compound German word for the joyous satisfaction of starting work on a new study?
