A forgotten German forester who proposed an alternative vision of American forestry focused on private ownership rather than the state. Which vision wins out?

In this episode, we talk about the bane of natural resources managers everywhere: invasive species. We cover the definition of an invasive species, what makes them so good at invading, and broadly how to treat them. There's also a fair amount of ranting and even a little bit of despair! But hey, it's not all bad. Invasive species mean job security for folks like us!Have a question or a topic you'd like us to cover? Send us a message at [email protected]
