Thank you for this! Listening to this presentation for new insights on non-natives. Needed a pep talk to keep going after the Broom, Ivy, Blackberries, Herb Robert, etc. from a woodlot and meadow I get to help steward. Helpful to hear your take on humans and invasive-ness as folks ask me about that. My forest ecology prof used to say that if he could play g*d he'd prevent the introduction of non-natives to ecosystems. He thought that was even worse than harvesting all old-growth or climate change. And yeah, what does Ivy and Laurel look like in their native habitats!?! Glad you are getting these concepts out to broader audiences. Thank you!
