2014 Invasive Vegetation Management Annual Report, Crater Lake National Park
Beck J, McCullough C, Whited I. 2014. 2014 Invasive Vegetation Management Annual Report, Crater Lake National Park. Crater Lake National Park
Work performed by the Crater Lake National Park Invasive Vegetation Management program during the 2014 season continued its focus on containing and reducing populations of invasive plant species within the Park. Steady progress made in 2014 and in previous years has helped stave off invasion of the Park’s native plant communities by non-native plant species. Invasive plants were controlled parkwide using manual and limited chemical treatment methods. Over 80,000 invasive plants were controlled in 2014; five new weedy species were discovered within the Park for the first time. Several large projects and events occurring within the Park presented challenges to the Invasive Vegetation Management program in 2014 and will continue to need attention in the coming years; this includes the Rockfall Mitigation project, the Pavement Preservation project, the Rim Drive Rehabilitation project, and the Pumice Complex of wildfires. Recommendations are made for the 2015 Invasive Vegetation Management field season and beyond.
