This report describes the work performed by the Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team at Denali National Park & Preserve during the 2010 field season. The Exotic Plant Management Team staff at Denali National Park & Preserve was comprised of two American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funded Student Conservation Association interns and one seasonal National Park Service employee. For the seventh consecutive year, invasive plant inventory and control occurred within the park focusing on the entrance area including the Denali Park Road, Visitor Center, railroad station, and campground. Invasive plant infestations were mapped using a Trimble 2003 GeoXT and manual weeding was performed with the help of three Southeast Alaska Guidance Association crews. Data was edited and analyzed using Pathfinder Office and ArcGIS. Total canopy acres controlled in 2010 (16.711) were slightly larger than in 2009 (11.687). A total of 159.037 acres of the park and 35.254 acres of non-park lands were surveyed in 2010.
