That was often the case in the UK … until we understood its vital role in the environment, and learned that the perceived damage was not as previously thought.
As it’s not a native plant to Northern America I would presume there is an equivalent plant native to that area, fulfilling the same role … hopefully its importance is understood.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@spanner054868571 As has been pointed out the OP requested advice some 8 years ago and has no doubt resolved the issue by now. What is considered a "problem" plant in one country does not mean it is a problem elsewhere. Whilst you may find "English Ivy" kills your Churchyard ( or any other ) trees in North America, it is not the case here. You either have the classification wrong or you haven't chosen to look any further. Unsure what Agricultural Extension workers are or exactly what they do but perhaps a further training programme related to environmental/diodiversity may be useful ?
