[MAIPC] looking for noteworthy invasive species programs and policies

[Marc Imlay]

Hawaii is also good. I agree the worst is yet to come. So Let us better patrol our borders is a good topic. Nevertheless, I also like all the current proposed speakers and topics except:

Garlic mustard managment and negative soil feedbacks. He is pushing strongly for a new managment approach (or no management approach) to garlic mustard.

In terms of preventing invasions, rather than treating them, from what I read, Australia and NZ have the best strategies, being very proactive.  Nothing is allowed in unless it can pass a series of questions.  Granted that doesn't mean the plants are actively studied first, just what is known about them is looked at, but essentially things aren't allowed in automatically, rather than our more passive approach to banning things once the damage is done.  Hawaii might also be good, but I can't remember at the moment.

I’m soliciting input on examples of 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’m not compiling the results for any kind of study.

Thanks!
