On my walk, sometimes I pick up trash, other times I try to boost local ecology by ripping out invasives.
One of the most insidious is the Oriental Bittersweet. I highly recommend learning how to id...
That stuff is evil, and will tear apart buildings.
We also have a ton of Japanese knotweed. Sadly, if you try pulling that by hand you're just as likely to spread it, as disrupting it and moving around can result in you spreading its rhizomes around.
That said if you find it early in the year and harvest the shoots while they're still somewhat tender it is quite edible and there's a variety of recipes you can find for it. Actually eradicating it takes far more extreme measures. It's evolved to grow even in volcanic environments...
