Large magnolia has growths on the trunk - how to remove

We recently purchased a home that has a beautiful magnolia tree (I would guess over 100 years old?) that has some other type of plants growing on the trunk. I'm thinking this accessory plant was intentional at one time but now looks messy as it covers the entire base of the trunk and I want to remove this plant from the trunk. Does anyone have any suggestions on the safest way to do this to not bring too much harm to the tree? Also any tips on maintaining this tree? I feel it's been neglected for at least 5-10 years.
