Hooke, Jennifer

This record contains annual reports and publications related to the Crater Lake National Park Invasive Vegetation Management Program. Since 2002 the Invasive Plant Management program has been protecting the Park’s native plant communities through invasive plant survey and control efforts, invasive plant prevention techniques, and monitoring and reporting systems. The goals of the IVM program are: 1. Prevention: prevent the introduction and spread of invasive plant species within Crater Lake National Park. 2. Early Detection and Rapid Response: survey for new invasive plant infestations to allow for swift treatment and control. 3. Effective Control: control invasive plant species within the Park through eradication, containment, and reduction of invasive plant population densities and abundance. Utilize an adaptive management framework based on the best available science and current knowledge to determine the most effective and appropriate treatment options for proactively controlling invasive plant species. 4. Monitoring and Data Management: monitor treatment efficacy, and use results of monitoring to inform management. Manage invasive vegetation data to enable regular reporting of results and progress. 5. Outreach and Education: educate and inform the Park’s visitors, employees, and partners on the Park’s Invasive Vegetation Management program and involve them in prevention, control, and monitoring efforts. 6. Collaboration: communicate regularly with Park partners, including other federal, state, and county entities, and collaborate on invasive vegetation management and control.
