Approach
Increase resilience of native communities to non-native invasive species.
Tactics
- Conduct aggressive integrated weed management in shrubland and grassland communities using biocontrols
- restoration
- and new technologies (e.g.
- black fingers of death).
- Increase surveillance for non-native invasive species (e.g.
- white nose syndrome
- zebra and quagga mussels
- avian diseases such as West Nile virus and endoparasites) to identify and control outbreaks; conduct public education and outreach to reduce spread
