“Interior is pleased to announce its new Invasive Species Strategic Plan, developed pursuant to the John D. Dingell Jr., Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Public Law 116-9).

The Plan sets out a vision for effectively managing invasive species through collaborative conservation to protect our nation’s environment and natural and cultural resources; economy and infrastructure; and public health. It both reflects ongoing work by Interior and its partners and leverages opportunities to respond to emerging issues.

Stakeholder input received at the onset of the Plan’s development, and again during the formal public comment period on the draft Plan, significantly influenced the content of the Plan.

This Plan will guide Interior’s work on invasive species in the next five years. We look forward to continuing to work with partners to prevent, control, and eradicate invasive species that damage the nation’s lands and waters.”
