Why would you become a blind pirate?
I don’t get it.
“I didn’t see anything”
OK…
But would it be a problem if I did?
Or are there areas to protect invasive species? I don’t think that’s a thing?
So, still don’t get it.
Cuz you ain’t seen shit.
I live in a few acres of conservation land. All my homies smash lantern flies when we see them. Get wrecked, you tree destroying fucks.
Some places in California, can sign up to volunteer with (paid expert) rangers to clear invasives
why would it matter if you saw them? it’s it illegal to do that ?
In some places it could be. Depends how anal the rangers want to be. They’re basically cops so I’d say chance of a power trip is high.
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.
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.)
It doesn’t matter whether its illegal if the authorities are stupid enough.
Oh yea. Apparently you can make high quality edible protein with Gorse that have become invasive in Australia and New Zealand.

Eat the invasive species! At least when its safe to do so. Shame that shore crabs are not invasive where I live because I can catch them pretty efficiently. At least they are plentiful enough that they don’t even need to bother with setting catch limits.
