If it's invasive phragmites you are screwed. I doubt that's what it is, but it might be. Nothing surprises me anymore.

I would cut a fiew heads and stems and take them to your local agronomy department for an ID.
Bring a picture, not the actual plant. If it's invasive, you don't want to risk spreading it. I would use the Seek app by iNaturalist and see if you can ID it on your own in the field.

I don't think it is wool grass. Don't know wha it is. Sedges have different types of stem which make them easier to ID. If it is lower areas more prone to be wet there may be several grasses, native and invasive it could be. I would cut a fiew heads and stems and take them to your local agronomy department for an ID. Then you can decide if it is a keeper or you want to eliminate it and plant more desirable species.
Bryce I spoke to the NRCS office and sent pic- most likely a member of the “ Rush” family- non invasive but I plan to follow-up with a site visit and determine next steps. Thrives in sunny wetland meadow settings- that’s how I would describe the location.
