Bush honeysuckle -
Bush honeysuckle refers to several species; the most common to Kentucky is the Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii). This native to northern China, Korea and parts of Japan was introduced to the U.S. in 1897. Escapes from ornamental plantings were recorded in the 1920s and promoted for conservation and wildlife uses in the 60s and 70s. This effort coupled with ornamental plantings led to range expansion from the Midwest to areas south and east.
Bush honeysuckle is spread by seed. Amur flowers in June, and the white and yellowish flowers can result in more than 1 million red seeds on mature (25-year-old), 20-foot tall plants. The seeds are consumed and spread by some species of songbirds only after other more nutritious native foods are gone. As with many invasive species, bush honeysuckle can grow and thrive over a wide range of which it can be confused, and all shrub-sized honeysuckle are exotic and invasive.
What's the risk to my woodlands?
Because bush honeysuckle can grow under moderate light conditions and tolerate a range of soils, all of Kentucky is at risk from these species. The greatest occurrence of Amur honeysuckle is in northern and central Kentucky. Once thought to be restricted to central Kentucky soils, Amur and other species are starting to be found in eastern and western Kentucky. It is now believed that it can and will spread throughout the state.

Benefits of Eastern Red Cedar removal
Removing cedar trees in Kentucky can offer various benefits, including improving water quality, enhancing wildlife habitat, and promoting healthier forest ecosystems. Cedar removal can also lead to increased visibility and recreational opportunities, while also generating income from timber harvests. Here's a more detailed breakdown of the benefits:1. Environmental Benefits:
- Improved Water Quality:Removing cedars, especially along streambanks, can reduce erosion and sedimentation, improving water clarity and habitat for fish populations.
- Enhanced Forest Health:Cedars can outcompete other trees for resources like sunlight and water, so their removal can help establish a more balanced and diverse forest ecosystem.
- Reduced Fire Risk:Cedar wood is flammable, making it a fire hazard. Removing cedars can decrease the risk of wildfires.
2. Wildlife Benefits:
- Better Habitat for Diverse Species:Removing cedars can create openings that support a wider variety of wildlife, including those that prefer open areas.
- Enhanced Browse and Mast Production:Cedars can limit the growth of valuable browse and mast-producing trees, so their removal can improve food sources for animals like deer.
- Increased Recreational Opportunities:Trails created during cedar harvests can be used for hiking, wildlife observation, and hunting.
3. Economic Benefits:
- Income from Timber Sales: Merchantable cedar trees can be sold for timber, providing income for landowners.
- Improved Land Use: Cedar removal can open up land for grazing, agriculture, or other uses.
4. Other Benefits:
- Increased Visibility: Removing cedars can improve visibility within forests.
- Reduced Water Consumption: Cedars are known to consume a significant amount of water, so their removal can help conserve water resources, especially in drought-prone areas.
