U.S. Department of the Interior: Invasive Species Strategic Plan 2021-2025

January 18, 2021/ OISC Coordinator

“The Department of the Interior’s (Interior) Invasive Species Strategic Plan (Plan), developed pursuant to the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Public Law 116-9), provides an overarching framework for the broad spectrum of activities that are performed by ten of Interior’s Bureaus and multiple offices. The Plan includes goals, objectives, strategies, and performance measures, as well as crosscutting principles that guide its implementation. The strategies reflect both work that is ongoing and opportunities to focus on emerging priorities. While Bureaus often have their own invasive species management plans, this Plan, for the first time, outlines a comprehensive approach across Interior that both builds upon existing plans and serves as an overarching strategy.”

Invasive Species Strategy 2020-2030 - Portland at the Crossroads (2019)

April 30, 2020/ OISC Coordinator

In 2020, Portland City Council unanimously approved the Portland Invasive Species Strategy 2020-2030, a project that charts a new course for how the city and community address invasive species and the impacts they cause. With decades of work in mostly natural areas tackling invasive species, and with new invasive species on Portland’s doorstep poised to threaten watershed health and pipes, pumps, and waterfronts, the city is protecting investments and saving money over the long haul.
