Weed Management Template

1. Establish conservation targets and goals

2. Identify and prioritize species/infestations that threaten targets and goals

3. Assess control techniques

4. Develop and implement weed management plan

5. Monitor and assess impact of management actions

6. Review and modify

Taken from Ellen Jacquart

Never enough time and resources to get it all done

Success is less likely without directed effort

Identify goals

Select winnable battles

Direction keeps us from going crazy

Why Prioritize?

Re-treatment time frame

Effective control methods available

Invasiveness of each species

Size of infestations

Legal obligations

Effective and thorough surveys

Quality of surrounding habitat

Feasibility

Available funding

Access

Mapping

Protected species or other important resources

Potential Vectors

Prioritization Considerations

TNC’s Draft Weed Management Plan

Alien Plants Ranking System

Invasive Exotic Plant Management Tutorial for Natural Lands Managers

Invasive Species Assessment Protocol

WHIPPET (Weed Heuristics: Invasive Populations Prioritization for Eradication Tool)

Many Different Prioritization Systems Available

Great theoretical approach, but how can we directly apply this?

Want to look at individual populations on the preserve rather than species as a whole

Provide better direction to treatments using our available data
