Approach

Use an integrated approach to prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species.

Tactics

  • Use rapid response to treat and restore newly invaded areas to prevent establishment.
  • Enhance the resistance and resilience of native plants communities by maintaining vigorous growth of native shrub, perennial grass and other perennial species through restoration activities, appropriate grazing techniques and fire management treatments.
  • Use integrated pest management to control established infestations, including biocontrols and herbicides.
