Here is more of the "path" coming in close to a habitat brush pile that I created using buckthorns that I took my chainsaw to. I've got quite a few of these habitat brush piles and I plant native vines around the bases of them to cover them up as well as to provide nectar and pollen for the pretties I want to attract to the property.

Here are some of the vines I currently have planted next to the habitat brush piles:
Dioscorea villosa (Wild Yam)
Menispermum canadensis (Moonseed Vine)
Aristolochia tomentosa (Woolly Dutchman's Pipe)
Smilax bona-nox (Saw Greenbrier)
Celastrus scandens (American bittersweet)
Parthenocissus vitacea (Thicket Creeper, Woodbine)
Clematis virginiana (lots of this) (Devil's Darning Needles, Virgin's Bower)

I'd like to get my hands on some Lonicera flava (American Honeysuckle, Yellow Honeysuckle), Clematis occidentalis (Western Blue Virgin's Bower), Cocculus carolinus (Carolina Coralbead), and Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine).

These brush piles look pretty when in bloom.

editing to add common names.
