Environmental
Assessment – Eurasian Watermilfoil / Curlyleaf Pondweed Research
Project: Sanders County (May 2009; PDF | 534 KB)
Montana Department of Agriculture.
Currently, the only known infestation of eurasian
watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) in Montana is
in Noxon Rapids and Cabinet Gorge Reservoirs where
the plant was first discovered in 2007. Spread of
this plant has the potential to impact aquatic environments
and impair recreational resources.
* See our Plants - Decision Support Tools section for more species profiles.

National
Forests in North Carolina Approves Non-Native Invasive
Species Control Project (PDF | 20 KB) (Mar
4, 2009)
USDA. FS. National Forests in North Carolina.
Forest Supervisor, Marisue Hilliard, has approved a strategy to control non-native invasive plants on the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. Native plants can be overrun by invading non-native plants. It is this group of plants land managers are attempting to control with the approval of this project.
The project will annually treat up to 1,100 acres of non-native invasive plants using a variety of methods.

York Invasive Species Clearinghouse.
A system/protocol designed to assess the invasive nature of non-native
plant species was developed by The Nature Conservancy
(TNC) in New York and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) in 2008.

Invasive Weed Impact Calculator
USDA.
Agricultural Research Service;
Montana State University Extension.
This site helps land managers decide which approach
is best for their situation when battling leafy
spurge or spotted knapweed. It accepts location-specific weed abundance data
from land managers and uses these data to estimate weed impacts. The
weed impact estimates help managers decide whether or not to use
costly weed control measures to battle leafy spurge/spotted knapweed.

Plant Stewardship Index (PSI)
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve. (Pennsylvania)
The Plant Stewardship Index (PSI) is an analytical tool for land conservationists, land managers and property owners. The Index is designed to assist in answering two questions: What is the
naturalness of any site? How have land management practices (or their absence)
affected that naturalness over time?

White River National Forest
Invasive Plant Specie Management
Environmental Assessment - DRAFT (Jun 7, 2007)
USDA. FS. White River National Forest.
The U.S. Forest Service has released a proposal that would allow the agency to respond more rapidly and flexibly to the problem, through means including use of herbicides and biological controls such as insects. Under 1993 rules that the Forest Service now follows on the WRNF, it isn't allowed to use biological controls in wilderness areas. Such controls are seen as being sometimes more effective than herbicides in managing infestations that exceed 100 acres.
