I’m soliciting input on examples of organizations or municipalities or states/provinces/etc. that have exerted noteworthy effort or have had noteworthy success in dealing with invasive species issues through intentionally focused programs (writ very broadly – from any proactive measures to aggressive coordinated management of existing invasives and everything in between). Of particular interest would be methods engaging relevant business sectors or industries (nurserymen’s associations, horticultural development, land development, etc.) or private landowners. Efforts undertaken by the more typical government agencies (e.g. natural resource management) or cooperatives (e.g. CWMAs) are of interest if there is a compelling case/expectation for noteworthy success based on an unusually robust and intentional approach. The information I’m seeking to collect here is largely related to personal interest – I realize this reads a bit like I have an award to hand out but alas I do not - nor am I compiling the results for any kind of study. Just curious about novel and successful programs.
Thanks! Happy to take responses off the list a m...@juniata.edu Norris
