Why conservation is always preferable to restoration. On the right is land that was disturbed 50 years ago. The understory is dominated by invasive plants. On the left is land with intact soil. Apparently the intact soil structure means that the invasives can’t jump the creek and get established on the left.
This is a slide from a presentation to the Virginia #NativePlants Society yesterday about #rewilding and #restoration.
