Cumberland Piedmont Network Invasive Species Early Detection
Moore W. Cumberland Piedmont Network Invasive Species Early Detection. 2012. National Park Service
Early detection of invasive plants, animals and diseases is a high priority for Cumberland Piedmont Network. While long-term changes associated with invasive species are being monitored through other protocols, it is critical to catch new populations of exotic species early in their invasion of new and sensitive areas. Early detection of invasive species increases the chance of eradication. The focus of early detection monitoring in the Cumberland Piedmont Network begins with monitoring of invasive plant and forest pest species, and emphasizes educating all field crews, cooperators, resource managers, volunteers and visitors on invasive species identification. The network also provides a framework for reporting and disseminating information on potential infestations. In addition, an Exotic Plant Management Team, which is stationed at Blue Ridge Parkway and serves multiple networks, is currently evaluating parks for invasive plant inventory and control issues.
