Deadline: 17-Mar-25
The Bureau of Land Management has launched the Alaska Invasive and Noxious Plant Management Program to prevent, detect, inventory, control, and monitor weed populations on public lands.
Program Goals
- Prevention, detection, and eradication of noxious weeds and invasive plant species.
- Development of outreach materials to engage the public in the detection of and to prevent the spread of noxious weeds and invasive plants species.
- Development of methods or modeling to increase the detection and mapping of noxious weeds and invasive plant species.
Program Description
- One of the BLM’s highest priorities is to promote ecosystem health and one of the greatest obstacles to achieving this goal is the rapid expansion of weeds across public lands. These invasive plants can dominate and often cause permanent damage to natural plant communities. If not eradicated or controlled, noxious weeds will continue to jeopardize the health of public lands and to constrain the myriad activities that occur on them.
- This program supports projects funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Section 40804 (b) Ecosystem Restoration. This program supports projects funded through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Sections 50221 Resilience, 50222 Ecosystems Restoration and 50303 DOI.
- BLM Alaska Invasive and Noxious Plant Management Programs work to prevent, detect, inventory, control, and monitor weed populations on public lands.
