Invasive Plant Strike Team

Grants and Contracts Details

Description

Kentucky’s vast forests comprise 48% of the state’s land area and are some of the most diverse in the nation. Yet, our forests are endangered by countless invasive plants. Currently, there is no effective infrastructure to address invasive plants statewide and developing this capacity is essential. We are proposing an Invasive Plant Strike Team with the capacity to decrease invasive plants at a landscape scale. Led by a partnership between the KDF and the UK, this model will involve a range of state and federal agencies, NGOs, and landowners to facilitate effective management.
