Invasives or more accurately opportunistic plants are plants that come to repair the land scape.
The human centric view that plants don’t travel, and that landscapes need to remain in situ or the same is the same viewpoint that is currently causing untold devastation to the earth and the already hundreds of species that we have so far destroyed.
When you get a landscape or environment that has been devistated, such as one with
A fire or landslide or massive building works like a canal nature tries to remedy the situation, or reclaim the territory, to put it in more understood by humans language. Pretty much all invasive plants have one function which is to rebuild soil and bring back life. They might need 10 years before they make way for other species to come in or they might need 100. Either way trying to work against this fundamental aspect of nature is damaging for our souls and contradictory to our long term well being as a species on the planet.
I would ask what are you fighting so hard to preserve that you have to spend so much effort on? And what would it look like in 100 years if you did nothing?
And I’m sorry but I think during these times I am simply convinced looking all around me that our management of our environment is truly out of intention and that we would do far better right now to do nothing, and look and learn for a coupe of generations.
