Invasive Vegetation Management 2015 Annual Report
Beck J, McCullough CM, Sikora JL, Keena-Levin ES, Gallardo RS. 2015. Invasive Vegetation Management 2015 Annual Report. Crater Lake National Park
Work performed by the Crater Lake National Park Invasive Vegetation Management program during the 2015 season continued its focus on detecting, containing, and reducing populations of invasive plant species within the Park. Steady progress made in 2015 and in previous years has helped stave off invasion of the Park’s native plant communities by non-native plant species. In 2015, invasive plants were controlled Parkwide using manual treatment methods. Approximately 159,500 invasive plants were controlled in 2015; twelve new weedy species were encountered within the Park for the first time. Large construction projects and natural events occurring within the Park this season presented challenges to the Invasive Vegetation Management program and will continue to need attention in the coming years; this includes the Rim Drive Rehabilitation project and the National Creek Complex of wildfires. Recommendations are made for the 2016 Invasive Vegetation Management field season and beyond.
