The shoreline at Indian River Lagoon Park in New Smyrna Beach	Two prominent invasive species – Brazilian pepper and Australian pine	In an Australian pine monoculture nothing else grows	An area of the park recently cleared of invasive plants
Australian pines create a hazard for people and animals because of their shallow root systems, they blow over easily in a storm	Australian pine removal	Cutting the branches of another exotic, the Brazilian pepper	A group of volunteers from Stetson University
The branches of a Brazilian pepper form a nearly impenetrable tangle down to the ground level	Volunteers drag the cut branches to a pile for disposal
