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.

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.

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.
