The #invasivore mission is to provide a buffet of knowledge about #invasivespecies that have been relocated around the world, causing massive environmental and economic damage.

At the center of our approach are #recipes proudly featuring #invasive species. We also provide exposition and commentary on related topics such as species profiles, harvesting tips, summaries of relevant #science and #research, and roundups of the latest #news and other media about invasive species.

A Win-Win #NewYear’s Resolution?
The #BostonGlobe just published (12/28/2022) its annual list of farms with goats that will eat your #Christmas tree when you’re done with it. Yes, you will have to burn some fuel to do that. I would like to think that at least a few families could address their postpartum Christmas depressions by planning that kind of adventure. Beyond the fun of seeing the #goats, could commitments to this kind of idea be a win-win New Year’s #resolution for your #family? -hps

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

In today's New York Times a Homeowner Association tried to force a Maryland couple with a native garden to change to a tidy lawn. The complaint was that their garden was "attracting rodents, deer, snakes and bats, and that they were planting shrubs and bushes in no particular order." Yes, in no particular order!

Legal proceedings ensued and there's now a state law forbidding homeowner associations from banning eco-friendly gardens.

They Fought the Lawn. And the Lawn’s Done.

After their homeowner association ordered them to replace their wildlife-friendly plants with turf grass, a Maryland couple sued. They ended up changing state law.

Welcome to the Hotel Invasivore?

We recently came across an article from a hotel industry blog this summer that served up an interesting perspective on what they called the "invasivore food trend" and we couldn't help but detect some irony as we thought through their pitch. Would hotel guests discover foods from their native homes on the invasivore menu? Does it change our perception of invasive species to think of benign members of our own communities wreaking havoc on another ecosystem? Since biological invasions are driven b
