Approach

Maintain integrity of native plant populations.

Tactics

  • Implement early detection, rapid response for non-native species treatment
  • Promote weed-free seed.
  • Prevent non-native plant introductions during projects.
  • Ensure weed-free policies are included in planning documents.
  • Coordinate weed-free seed standards and regulations among agencies.
  • Expand weed-free feed list to include additional non-native species.
