They will literally not care

Neat idea... but I don't think federal law is gonna stop the oligarchs under this administration.

Do this under the current administration and you'll lose the endangered species act

RIP to the Endangered Species Act

No chance the US government will forego money for their broligarchs because of environmental laws.

But if you really want to overwhelm someone’s property with an unkillable native plant, I’d have to put Virginia creeper forward as a candidate.

I'm sure the pedo in charge, that's just ordered the removal of a deep-ocean observation system, is certainly going to baulk at the thought of removing some plants.

if today's strategies are anything to go by : nothing is illegal if youre in charge

Lmao they don't even care about humans. You think they'd care about beetles and berries??

Oops a completely accidental accident happened where a van full of pesticide accidentally crashed head on into the tree and exploded it. Accidentally. Oh well, I guess the build is back on at least.

Except it's only native to the central valley in California so if you're anywhere else this is not going to have any effect.

I guess this person just didn't look up its range or something? The species pictured there isn't even native to CA.

Most endangered species have restricted ranges, which is part of what makes them endangered. So you'll have to do the work to find out what might be present in your local area.

That said I did just hear they're trying to build one in Roseville, CA which IS in the range of this species so guerrilla gardeners, if you happen to be in Roseville, go nuts.

Haha maybe under a normal president, but this one hates regulation and safety. He LOVES money though.

Watch them care, they'll just bulldoze right over these

I was once working on a building site of some kind and was told that was known to have some kind of native endangered lizard, we were told “if you think you see one, you didn’t”.

The law means nothing when lobbies of big corps can change it to their like, paying politicans as their spokespersons.

Unfortunately doing this will just get the protections for those species revoked

Then apartment owners will use this to plant them in areas where people are trying to build affordable housing.

even if that would be an obstacle, it would take mere hours for them to change the law and remove the protection altogether.

i mean republicans are protesting from thier small towns, and some blue states are partially trying to stop it. because these politicians likely see thier re-election chances become slim if they keep going forward with it. some states that is. the only ones that dont care already arnt up for re-election(Mills, whitmer). it works ina blue state , gop states are unlikely to care about it, since they are likely tobow by trump.

Elderberry is also a wonderful edible medicinal plant. Their berries are delicious and immune boosting

I had no idea Sambucus was native to America. Elder flower is such a quintessential childhood flavour to me.

Edit: So, growing up, my famliy worked at a elder farm for a few years. The name of elder always stuck in my head; Sambucus nigra.

Per Wikipedia, Sambucus nigra, or black elder, is actually native to Europe.

Sambucus can be found natively in large swathes of the world. It's just that the specific type mentioned in the post is native to North America.

Makes me think of how American blueberries here in Sweden has more or less replaced our native blueberries (bilberry) in stores.

The kind of ecological terrorism I approve
