In restoring old farm ground in Michigan, please send claude robot to kill the autumn olive. I can give it work for years and years.

Other super fun fact, do you know there are standards for needle punctures? hexarmor is expensive but its about the only thing I've found that will stop autumn olive woody thorns. They will punch through canvas and leather. Probably also useful for locusts.

Welp you're in luck because my friend Rikki Ocampos who's been helping with Indigene told me yesterday about CISMAs: > CISMAs are organizations for different management areas, they’re part of the Florida Invasive Species Council.

I told her guidance on "unplanting" invasives is definitely something I want to tackle but it can be tricky to navigate so the first update is this PR (https://github.com/olivierlacan/indigene/pull/247) providing better guidance on whether, when, how to "unplant" invasives and whose permission you might need.

Definitely curious about any and all invasive management resources so thanks fo the https://woodyinvasives.org link, I don't think I was aware of that one yet!
