Setters L and Ramos S. 2020. Invasive species management for Katmai National Park & Preserve, Alagnak Wild River, and Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve: 2019 summary report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/KATM/NRR—2020/2130. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
The team was composed of two Student Conservation Association interns, a park bear monitor, and biological science technician. The primary objectives of the team were early detection and quick management of invasive plant infestations to prevent the establishment and spread of these species. Twenty sites were visited to survey and control terrestrial invasive plants, including parts of the preserve and private inholdings within the park and could not have been completed without a partnership with the private owners and the park. Eight locations were surveyed for invasive aquatic plants in areas of high float plane traffic. Gilliland’s airstrip was the only new terrestrial site surveyed in 2019. Thirteen of the twenty sites were chemically treated with herbicides, Milestone and 2,4-D. We treated five main invasive plants within the park. Field work consisted of 32.97 acres of survey sites and the treatment of 28 known infestation sites with high visitation. In 2019, a total of 22.7 gallons of herbicide mixture was applied. There were no new invasive species found within Katmai National Park and Preserve, wilderness, Alagnak Wild River and Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve this season. The SCA interns outreach event was at the 2019 Fishtival Bazaar, a celebration of a successful fishing season in Bristol Bay.
