  1. Formulation Strategies of State Noxious Weed Lists and EPPC Lists Jack Ranney, Ecologist TN EPPC & S. Appalachian MAB Kudzu (Pueraria lobata)

  2. Invasive Plant Lists - a Delicate Matter Driven By: • Agencies for legal enforcement • Consensus for strategic action by resource mgrs (non-binding) • Workable compromise between green industry & resource mgrs (binding/non-binding) Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata)

  3. Lists Defined by Needs of Major Stakeholders • Who in (outside) your state, winners and losers • Review process • Existing lists & procedures • Ranking invasiveness European & Chinese Privet (Ligustrum vulgare, L. sinense)

  4. More List Issues • Subregions? • Who can (needs to) identify plants • Existing/anticipated regulatory • Amending the list & data mgt • What does listing mean (fines, permits, etc.) • When/how does enforcement occur Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum)

  5. What Defines Invasive? • How much damage is sufficient • How much proof is needed • Rankings; mgt & enforcement levels • How specific must a species or cultivar be defined • What can be done about it Japanese stiltgrass(Microstegium vimineum) Start with rough consensus list and work toward detailed list

  6. Focus All Groups on One List Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin) • Multiple lists a disaster • Which one is right • Which one is binding • Overlap and succession • In Tennessee – • TN EPPC list • TN Dept. Ag. Noxious Weed list • State ANS list • FS FIA list • SAMAB monitoring list Multiflora Rose(Rosa multiflora)

  7. Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth • Moderate/limited diversity • Big stakeholders present • Customize link between nursery industry & natural area mgrs • Use review for broader input

  8. State Invasive Species Situation • Threats, risks • Impact Costs • Spread, trends • Ease/effectiveness of mgt • Species • Hotspots • Causes • Tie to land mgt practices • Stakeholders & issues • Gaps, info limits • Info mgt issues • Existing state laws/regs • Examples in other states • State cross-cutting examples • Funding

  9. Listing Issues of Major Stakeholders Major Stakeholders (Specific Groups or Generic Groupings) Geographic Scale Natural Area Managers Natural Heritage Agricultural Extension Forestry Green Industry (subsets) DOTs Conservation & Foundation Groups Nat’l & Int’l Regional & State Sub-State Community Site
