Messy or weedy areas can provide good habitat for small birds and animals. It is important to protect existing habitat,
which is being used for nesting or as the main living location by native birds or animals, even if weedy.
If the habitat is weedy replacement native habitat needs to be either regenerated or planted in a nearby
location AND only after it is in use by the target species should the weedy habitat be considered for removal.
