Good stuff. I listened to "Invasives Species Management in Buffers."

I'm surprised they didn't cover Autumn Olive or Shrub Honeysuckles.

In this area (Centre County), multi-flora rose is probably the most common one, found in nearly every buffer.

Autumn Olive is probably the second most common one.

And third is probably Shrub Honeysuckles. These are very common where soils are fertile.

Penn State Extension has some really good, recently updated, information sheets on invasive plants, which are common in buffers. These have good photos that help a lot with identification.
