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
