This presentation shares a 30-year career’s worth of perspective related to invasive plant control and restoration. The basis of site restoration following woody invasive plant removal is facilitated by the release of water use and increase in soil moisture to allow for other plants to utilize. Some site photos will be featured from various old and new projects highlighting vegetation responses following invasive plant treatments.
