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!
