My name is Steve. I'm here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My feeders are on the hillside above the Allegheny River. The area was c overed in vines when I moved here in 2002 - solid wall of Porcelain Berry vines. I've removed the vines and other invasive plant species and promote the growth of native species. It is a constant battle but in the end I hope to restore the area to native forest.

Hi Steve and Welcome...........I live 2 counties below in Fayette. You have a very nice feeder setup. It is a wonderful that you promote the growing of native plants.
Good Job! Steve.

Welcome, Steve! What a lovely setup and view you have! I hear ya about eradicating the invasives--we're in a forest here and much of what grows is native, but human disturbance along the edge is giving rise to stands of invasive species and, yes, it's a constant battle to beat them back! It's worth it, though! I've planted a lot of wildflowers from seed in the sunny spots and the established patches really attract the birds and insects. This coming spring we're going to put in a few more fruit-bearing shrubs/trees (highbush cranberry and a native hackberry, if we can find one).
