That's a surprising amount of engagement and a resounding result. No bamboo!
‐----------------------------
Is clumping bamboo well behaved or just a Trojan Horse to takeover all it can? Will I end up with a privacy screen or an invasion?Feel free to boost to spread this like bamboo, also feel free to provide anecdotes, scientific names, etc!

Another photo from early this morning, walking the Dahl Playfield Park loop: the east side is mostly Himalayan blackberry bushes, which are not allowed anywhere else. People come in late summer to gather berries.

Wild Pigs Undermine Invasive Flora, While Native Deer Bolster It
New research shows wild pigs help reduce invasive plants, while native deer help invasive plants grow more. This changes how we see these animals in forests.

Wild pigs are surprisingly helping to reduce invasive plants in forests, while native deer are making the problem worse. This is the opposite of what scientists expected.

Herd for Hire: About 300 #Goats Employed to Help #CheyenneWY Clear Overgrown Vegetation
by Alex Hill, Jun 11, 2025
"For over a decade, the City of Cheyenne has employed goat herds to manage overgrown vegetation. This approach has proven both effective and cost-efficient.
"In 2025, the city awarded the vegetation management contract to Goats on the Go, Boulder, a division of Olson Outdoors based in Broomfield, Colorado.
"Lauren Patrie, owner and partner of Goats on the Go, Boulder, explained, 'So we're up here for 25 days. And basically what we do is we just move the goats around wherever there's a need.'
"The primary objective, like every year, is to clear #invasive species and overgrown vegetation obstructing two of Cheyenne’s floodways. These plants not only impede water flow but also disrupt local #ecosystems.
"Patrie further elaborated, 'The city of Cheyenne brought us out here to bring a big herd of about 300 goats to clean up overgrown vegetation and invasive weeds along the greenway.'
"The goats' grazing habits offer several #environmental benefits. Patrie noted, 'Goats are super agile and light on their feet, so less chance of erosion that you might have with heavy equipment.' Additionally, 'We're not using gas-powered or anything that has chemicals, toxic emissions. They're still and aerate the soil. Makes it easier for nutrients and water to absorb into the soil. Healthier for native grasses to regrow. And their digestive process renders the seeds of #InvasivePlants useless so they can no longer grow in the future.' [I did not know this!]
"Despite this decade-long practice, 2025 marked the first time the city hosted a public event to introduce the goats. The 'Meet and Bleat' event featured a petting zoo-style area, allowing citizens to interact closely with the herd. Both the city and Goats on the Go aimed to spotlight the hardworking goats and foster community engagement."

I've alerted Saanich Parks with GPS coordinates on some #invasive #EnglishLaurel #plants in #ColquitzPark. This one was pretty large & is starting to bud out.

Thrilled to get to chat with New York Times garden columnist Margaret Roach on her podcast A Way to Garden, about the trials and tribulations of bringing back native meadows, struggles with invasive plants, and how to accept imperfection.
