Video of my presentation at NY Botanical Garden Summit on alien invasive plant management goes live today

I gave the keynote address on alien invasive plant management at the very well attended Lower Hudson PRISM Summit on 3 November. You can see a video of the presentation, and the whole summit, here.
​In summary, I argued that the poorly conceived 'novel ecosystem' theory has led to the popular notion  that 'invasive plants will save nature' (Fred Pearce). This is scientifically false and undermines sound conservation policy; but I also argued that  'removal alone is not enough' , that ecological restoration is the best way to cope with the challenge, and that the new International Standards published by SER provide the best restoration guidance currently available.
