Work performed by the Crater Lake National Park Invasive Vegetation Management program during the 2016 season continued its focus on detecting, containing, and reducing populations of invasive plant species within the Park. Steady progress made in 2016 and in previous years has helped stave off invasion of the Park’s native plant communities by non-native plant species. In 2016, invasive plants were controlled Park-wide using manual treatment methods. Approximately 105,318 invasive plants were controlled in 2016; eight new weedy species were encountered within the Park. 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 Bybee Creek wildfire. Recommendations are made for the 2017 Invasive Vegetation Management field season and beyond.
