Approach
Maintain integrity of native plant populations and prevent exotic species invasions.
Tactics
- Use early detection, rapid response.
- Promote weed-free seed.
- Prevent nonnative 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 nonnative species.
