I gave these presentations to a local Sierra Club last night. The theory is probably the most important parts of these presentations. I define native plants as non-domesticated and non-hybridized based on ecological utility in the chestnuts presentation. In the Spotted Lanternfly presentation I introduce the word "naive" to describe introduced non-native organisms due to their lack of co-evolution in the local ecology. I mention that regardless of a population size, the Founder Effect is important and may be the weakness which needs exploring.
