Provincial Range Operations / Invasive Plant Program
The Invasive Plant Program is responsible for inventory and control of new and existing
invasive plant incidences on Crown land in BC, and for the development of new biological control agents.
Program staff are responsible for logistics planning, client interactions, and legislative aspects related to preventing the introduction
or spread of invasive plants. Implemented control strategies are consistent with the principles
of integrated pest management, and treatment methods include prevention, cultural, manual / mechanical,
chemical and biological control.
Monitoring is an essential follow-up to treatments, in order to measure efficacy and make
adjustments to future treatments. The Invasive Plant Program works in co-operation with the many local invasive
plant/weed committees established across the province.
