1 Southern Appalachian Cooperative Weed Management Partnership
2 SACWMP s Mission Work cooperatively to protect and restore the significant natural heritage of the Southern Appalachians by preventing, detecting, and controlling invasive exotic plants.
3 Partners in Invasive Exotic Plant Management
4 Cooperative Weed Management Why Partnerships? It takes a lot of work and a lot of money! Operates across jurisdictional boundaries Local organizations High visibility Increased public awareness and education
5 SACWMP Strategic Plan, January 2012 Prevention Education Detection Control Restoration Cooperation Prevent the establishment of new species to our region as well as the spread of existing infestations 1.Continue to campaign to limit/stop the sale of invasive exotic plants Develop better name for campaign Certify nurseries Educate the public Advocate for non-invasive seed mixes for NCDOT/Contractors Policy advocacy 2.Evaluate impact of boot brush signs Install more as needed 3. Establish Develop Weed-free BMPs Use certified materials when feasible (gravel, mulch, fill dirt, etc.) Clean equipment, clothes, tools Limit soil disturbance Replant immediately after soil disturbance 4. Research suppliers of weedfree materials (quarries, mulch yards, etc.) Promote these suppliers Increase public awareness of the impacts of invasive exotic plants and natural resource conservation 1.Determine best venues for information distribution Conferences Home and garden shows Master gardeners Home owners associations Boy Scouts State Fair Extension Office 2. Develop lesson plan for 4 th - 12 th grades Train the trainers Provide environmental education credits to teachers 3. Continue to promote SACWMP in the media Website Enewsletters Press Radio Weed of the Week podcasts Google ads 4. Integrate fun/creative/recreate-on activities into volunteer events Conduct inventories for the purposes of controlling infestations and monitoring the extent of infestation over time 1.Identify high priority GIS analysis of all partners 2. Volunteers to conduct inventory on 100 miles of roads/trails and 300 acres of parks/easements 3. Stay informed on early detection plants and disseminate information Manage inventoried areas through integrated pest management following each plant s phenology Prevention Prevent the establishment of new species to our region as well as the spread of existing infestations 1.Continue to explore best control methods and timing for individual species Keep diligent treatment records Evaluate control efficacy 2. Conduct integrated pest management in identified priority areas 3. Investigate biological control methods 4. Continue control on 10 previously treated acres with volunteers 5. Initiate control on 25 acres with volunteers 6. Develop management plans for each project area Control methods Timing Person hours Equipment needs Safety Signage 7. Conduct management cost analysis Control vs. prevention Cost per acre/species/year Re-establish site with native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers necessary to restore healthy, functioning natural communities 1.Establish guidelines for planting native vegetation Soil disturbance thresholds % native vs. invasive cover Native vs. invasive seed sources % slope Canopy cover (sunlight) Soil mixture Planting guidelines Evaluate success of replanting 2. Explore other restoration options 3. Identify additional sources of inexpensive/free native plant material Facilitate agreements and sustain participation by citizens, agencies, and partner organizations across jurisdictional boundaries 1.Log 750 volunteer hours per year 2.Increase number of repeat volunteers every year 3.Explore, develop, and retain partnerships with federal, state, non-profit, and private partners Increase coordination between partners Recruit interns to work on SACWMP projects Explore the need for a MOU or Participatory Agreement 4.
