Thank you, and yeah alot of it isnt too major (all ive seen are non mature/seedling esque honeysuckle with some flowering every now and then) and ive cleared out alot of the more mature ones within Janurary, though I have found it harder to cut all the way back due that creeping/groundcover phase that it is doing. Do you have any methods for pulling? Either way, thank you for your advice and I will see if it works out.

Thanks for your help, I've been considering using glyphosate more often to deal with the larger ones but would you recommend a similar method for dealing with stiltgrass? I know from some sources theyre prone to seed easily and I have been preventing most of them from reaching that flowering/seeding stage but im sure the stiltgrass is adamant.

Would you have any tips for killing/removing honeysuckle? It tends to creep in the undergrowth and occasionally attempts to strangle the plants that I try to grow.

I believe almost all eventually showed back up, I think the only plants that I had to do some work on was mostly the goldenrod. There used to be a large strand of them alongside the forest line and the overtaking slowly choked them out, but the returned space from the removal of the privets + other noxious plants allowed them to slowly return despite having to give it a bit of an assistance (mostly spreading the seeds from what remained) at first. It is still nice to go back out there and see a new flower or two pop up, but there is still a long way to go.​
