Expert Response
Hello,
We typically just recommend that you consult an ISA-certified arborist. There is a directory here:
https://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist
If this is a larger forest setting, you can contact the Forest Health foresters at MDARD:
https://www.michigan.gov/mdard/environment/forestry
They may provide some assistance.
This will probably require the use of herbicides to get the black locust under control. It is a particularly difficult tree to eradicate. This article gives some specific guidelines for controlling black locust.https://cipwg.uconn.edu/black-locust/#B
