Depends on the rules. Some places it would be illegal to disturb anything in conservation areas like parks but other areas it would be illegal to ignore invasive plants and not remove them.

I’ve never been in a park or area where you, as an individual, were legally liable for not removing invasive species.

That being said, I did get in trouble for having thistle in my yard, but there was a specific city ordinance against thistle, and not against invasives as a whole (otherwise most of the fucking neighborhood would be torn up, which TBH would be great.)

  Well not as an individual but the owners/caretakers of the land are legally required to remove it and remediate the area.
