FORESTRY MULCHING EXTREMELY INVASIVE PLANTS!

- Join us as we tackle a jungle of exotic invasive plants in Central Ohio. We used a forestry mulcher to reset this woodland for the land owner to be able to use for various recreational activities. Non-native plants we targeted on this property were oriental bittersweet (Asia), Amur honey suckle (Asia), autumn olive (Asia), multi flora rose (Asia) and japanese stilt grass (Asia).

In an Asian jungle in central Ohio. Great analogy- how true! I’m worried about what the future holds for our local ecosystems too, these exotics are so resilient.. but, if every private land owner does their part to remove invasives and promote native plants we will be in a much better place. Great work yet again
Good stuff! Kudos to the landowner! We need more folks that are willing to do this kind of work, and it looks like you put a great plan together to help get their habitat back on track for the long run!

I couldn't agree more with this video, you nailed it right on the head! Glad to see this kind of work happening. Most people, and some landowners, don't even know what those invasive species are that you mentioned. We have all the same stuff over here in Missouri,,,,
We're at it FT here in Ohio. The whole midwest needs land managers more than ever. Thanks for watching. Keep an eye out for more managment videos.

Great video. I’m waging my own battle against honeysuckle and autumn olive. They are taking over here in Iowa
Put the beat down on it and try to get back on a burn rotation if you're not currently to keep it out. Native plants and oaks love fire. Asian shrubs do not. We will have some more invasive management specific videos coming soon. Thanks for watching!
I freaking hate bush honeysuckle. Battled it for years before I moved from MO.
I really appreciate what you're doing. Folks don't realize that this hurts them even if they aren't anywhere around because it kills the property values. I live in the heart of Kudzu and have seen just how bad it is. We need more people like you out there doing the good work. I'd love to see some kind of government program like the Conservation Corps from back in the 30's so landowners could get the help they need. Maybe even train up and equip whole battalions of mulchers who do nothing but run around shredding the land and reseeding with native species. It won't be easy, but it's critical if we want to save our ecosystems from a total collapse -- which is on the horizon.
Thank you. Yes, the ecosystem is in trouble. Active management is required going forward and we need everyone on board.
I'm mulching 40 acres in Western PA on honeysuckle. It looks the exact same as the property you did. How did the follow up treatment go?
Keep on rocking it!

Going out into and getting in touch with your land for better land management isn't just a good idea. As a land owner, you are *legally obligated* to maintain your property!
Enjoyed watching
We have another non-native beat down with a dozer and mulcher coming soon. Keep an eye out! Thanks for watching.
Good stuff
Same invasive stuff here in PA. We have worked hard to try to keep it under control. Wish you were here with that machine. Seems no one here has such a thing.
The whole midwest is under attack and theyre here to stay at this point. Only those who care to keep their land healthy will enjoy the benefits of a healthy diverse eco-system.
We work in PA by the way.
I have a farm in Southern Illinois that has the same type of invasives in your video as well as bamboo. The bamboo is especially difficult to make any progress eradicating. I bush hog early spring and late fall and seem to only blunt the invasion. What type of herbicide mixture is best to kill off these types of plants, and do I need to mulch into the soil instead of just cutting with a bush hog?
I haven't treated bamboo before but I would try Glyphosate first. Its cheap and readily available. Make sure its actively growing and treat thoroughly in the first application. Hit any missed spots a few weeks later and try not to hit the native plants later as they are recolonizing the area. Repeated non-selective spraying is never good.
So here's a dumb question I had a company dump some mulch off at the house right on a hill but when they did it at all sprouted so isn't that all that's going to happen is you sprouts of what you are mulching up. Wouldn't it be just bested to burn
You will get lots of re-sprouts. You will get both noxious and beneficial native plants that re-sprout. Selectively managing what species are re-colonizing the site is critical. It will take a couple rounds of selective herbicide applications to get the invasives under control. If you didn't want to use herbicides you could over seed a heavy blend of native grass that would carry fire in the future. 2-3 years after clearing, prescribed burn.
How do you bid a job like this? What was the pricetag?
We estimate time based on density of the species to be removed.
What area of the country are you based out of?
I'm in upstate ny.
Ohio
Herbicide, ya mean glyphosates?
There's options, each site must be monitored and the best suited herbicide for the job with the least impact to the surrounding area should be used, as few times as possible. Sites like this will need frequent disturbance to keep control and balance to the eco-system.
