[APWG] Fwd: 2019 Land Manager's Guide to Developing an Invasive Plant Management Plan (Guide).

[De Angelis, Patricia]

FORWARDING INFO THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST: The 2019* Land Manager's Guide to
Developing an Invasive Plant Management Plan *(Guide) is now available! Learn
more and download a copy of the BMPs
<http://fingerlakesinvasives.org/2019-land-managers-guide-to-developing-an-invasive-plant-management-plan/>


Please share this widely among your network of invasive plant management
practitioners.  The Guide focuses on the *process* of invasive plant
management planning and deciding how to focus limited invasive species
management resources to gain the greatest conservation benefit. It is
applicable at any scale and in any situation wherever invasive plant
management is necessary. It is intended to promote a strategic and adaptive
invasive plant management approach using the best available information and
following the time-tested principles of integrated pest management.  The
Guide does not address specific policies and regulations because these can
differ widely across agencies and organizations. Rather, it informs a
manager as to critical points in the planning process when policies and
regulations should be considered.

Development of this Guide was led by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's
Pacific Southwest Region, Inventory and Monitoring Initiative and the
California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) in coordination with a
technical advisory committee spanning many agencies and organizations,
including the USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System Invasive Species
Working Group.

Please share this widely!  At a time when invasive plants have been shown
to disrupt ecosystem processes and negatively impact infrastructure, we are
grateful to everyone who contributed to this timely and useful Guide.
