Introduction and Background to Risky Business: Invasive species management on National Forests - A review and summary of needed changes in current plans, policies and programs www.kettlerange.org/weeds/ February, 2001 by George Wooten and Marlene Renwyck Abstract Invasive species management on public lands is a complex issue which is currently being approached in a variety of ways. Recent efforts to eradicate weeds on National Forests have been costly and sometimes ineffective. Controversy has erupted over the use of herbicides and their potential for harm to health and the environment. This study critically examines the basis of current plans, policies and programs for managing invasive species on federal public lands, along with a presentation of alternative solutions. To successfully control invasive species, sound policies must be in place, which require clearly stated, measurable goals and objectives based on an understanding of the biology and ecology of invading species. In responding to invasions on public lands, managers need to shift their approach from short-term reduction efforts to flexible approaches that treat the causes of invasions rather than the symptoms, while placing more emphasis on prevention and monitoring. Document Conventions This document provides the background and rationale for recommended changes and improved implementation of objectives, policies and programs dealing with the management of invasive species. Topics are described in detail along with illustrative case examples. Emphasis is placed on describing the effects of herbicides on lands administered by the Forest Service, although in many instances, discussions also apply to pesticides in general and other land ownerships.

Miller The University of Georgia, USDA APHIS PPQ and USDA Forest Service Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team. FHTET-2003-08 A biological invasion of non-native plants is spreading into our nations' fields, pastures, forests, wetlands and waterways, natural areas, and right-of-ways. Variously referred to as exotic, nonnative, alien, noxious, or non-indigenous weeds, invasive plants impact native plant and animal communities by displacing native vegetation and disrupting habitats as they become established and spread over time. Drawing on recent publications by the USDA Forest Service, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA APHIS PPQ and the Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council, this web site covers identification characteristics, distribution, and control options for 97 tree, shrub, vine, grass, fern, forb, and aquatic plant species that are invading the eastern United States. For each species, a menu of control options is presented, including mechanical treatments, specific herbicide prescriptions, and, for selected species, recent advances in biological control. While this is not an official list of "invasive" plants throughout the eastern United States, it includes Federal Noxious Weeds and those listed by State regulatory agencies, pest plant councils and other organizations. Some of the plants on this list are often found in ornamental plantings and landscapes. In fact, many non-native plants introduced for horticultural and agricultural use now pose a serious ecological threat in the absence of their natural predators and control agents. This publication will aid landowners, foresters, resource managers, and the general public in becoming familiar with invasive plants in their area to help protect our environment from the economic and ecological impacts of these biological pollutants.

"Control" means, as appropriate, eradicating, suppressing, reducing, or managing invasive species populations, preventing spread of invasive species from areas where they are present, and taking steps such as restoration of native species and habitats to reduce the effects of invasive species and to prevent further invasions. "Ecosystem" means the complex of a community of organisms and its environment. "Federal agency" means an executive department or agency, but does not include independent establishments as defined by 5 U.S.C. 104.
