Approach
Prevent invasive plants from establishing after disturbances.
Tactics
- Include invasive species prevention strategies in all projects.
- Inventory regularly to detect new populations and species.
- Coordinate invasive species management, funding, and support between agencies.
- Use seeding of native plant species in areas with non-native species.
- Plant seeds with biochar coating.
- Reduce grazing practices that encourage spread of non-native species.
