The scope for this IPRP was developed in accordance with findings from, and through the framework of, the SCSP 2023 Invasive Plant Removal Plan (see Exhibit C). Fieldwork completed in 2019 provided the basis for the stated extent, distribution, and relative abundance of the target invasive plant species across the park. The primary objective for the IPRP is to establish the framework for directing 2025-2029 invasive species treatments and post-treatment erosion-control seeding; and initiate restoration planting when sufficient control of the target species has been attained within and across the stated work areas. In support of achieving this objective, related IPRP objectives include: • Summarizing species-specific descriptions, distribution, and abundance. • Detailing the specific areas where invasive species treatments will occur. • Describing treatment methods. • Defining frequencies and timing of treatments. • Describing treatment performance monitoring approaches. • Detailing post-treatment erosion control and restoration (revegetation) options.
