I do quite a bit of this work and run a nonprofit organization that helps people work with native flora. I'd love to know what you are doing and help in any way we can. We are working on a seriously degraded property right now. Typically there are a lot of alien seeds in the seed bank, and breaking ground creates conditions for more exotic to move in. Some of those will be native early succession species. Send me a message and we will get you on the right course.
