22 ILLINOIS INJURIOUS SPECIES RULE UPDATE Added one additional plant species (along with 6 other non-plant species) Water solider - Stratiotes aloides

23 ILLINOIS INVASIVE SPECIES CAMPAIGN REVISION Part of the Illinois Wildlife Action Plan (IWAP) Sets forth actions needed to address invasive species threats to rare and declining wildlife in Illinois IWAP - ten-year revision Invasive Species Campaign expanding to include more aquatics, exotic animals, and wildlife health EDRR

24 ILLINOIS INVASIVE SPECIES CAMPAIGN Identifies priority invasive species for each habitat campaign (Forests & Woodlands, Farmland & Prairie, Streams, Wetlands, Great Lakes, and Urban) Identifies focal wildlife species most impacted by invasive species Incorporates aquatic wildlife and wildlife health / disease program Designates targeted and universal actions Designates EDRR list for state

25 OTHER UPDATES Active research on: Growing season burns to impact woody invasive plants and sericea lespedeza Aerial control of bush honeysuckle Prescribed fire s impacts on invasive plants New management guide for invasive plants of southern Illinois publication New CWMA formed (Headwaters CWMA)
