There's a guy on youtube that talks about bringing back native plants to an area and all the benefits that come with it.

He usually just does a controlled burn and comes back a while later and it's back to native plants. Dude has a lot of cool knowledge but it's funny to me the format is basically explain-burn-check back later.

Don't know the channel, but wouldn't that result in a bunch of invasive species creeping in, too?

One of the things with natural lawns is you can't just let your yard do its thing. Lots of the plants you'll get with that are invasive. You do have to do some kind of planning and maintenance.

He's almost certainly in America, where a lot of the ecological systems are supposed to burn every once in a while. It's also common that the invasive species can't handle it. We've messed up a lot of our ecosystems by suppressing wildfires, and it's causing multiple kinds of problems.
