1 New Invasive Plant Species of Concern to BC s Grasslands: THE WHAT, WHERE AND HOW Presented by Becky Brown Invasive Plant Specialist Provincial EDRR Coordinator B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations May 17, 2017

2 OVERVIEW What is Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR)? EDRR Status Update for BC Feature Grassland Species (what, where, mngmt) How Can You Help?

3 EDRR CANDIDATE PLANT SPECIES Terrestrial and aquatic plants known to be invasive and damaging and not known to occur in BC or present in limited amounts.
