This brief summarizes a report that described the results of invasive exotic plant monitoring conducted at Zion National Park in 2018. During monitoring on May 30–June 4, 2018, a total of 17 different IEP species were recorded along 110 kilometers (69 mi) of 25 monitoring routes and 195 transects at Zion National Park. Of these, seven were priority species that accounted for 288 separate patches. Three-quarters of all patches (75%) were classified as “very low” on the patch management index scale, suggesting that effective control or eradication is possible through local management actions.
