Klamath Network invasive species early detection monitoring protocol annual report for the 2011 field season- sampling done at all six KLMN parks. The Klamath Inventory and Monitoring program implemented its Invasive Species Early Detection Protocol from April to September 2011. This was the second time the protocol has been implemented using a repeatable, peer-reviewed methodology at comparable intensities. During the field season, a two person crew visited all six parks in the Klamath Network, beginning in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area and concluding in Redwood National and State Park. The crew monitored 146 road and trail segments, covering a total of 350 km. The sample effort matched or exceeded our goals. We observed a total of 217 separate infestations of 26 priority invasive species, and collected site-specific data at 161of these infestations. Invasive species infestations tended to occur within 6 m of a road or trail, in areas with less overstory cover, and more often along roads than trails.
