Integrated Pest Management Plan for the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Complex (revised August 2013) [DRAFT]

This Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) identifies primarily pest plant (weed) control sites, sets priorities, and outlines a general strategy to manage weeds across the Complex. Specifically, the IPM is a necessary tool as described in the draft Habitat Management Plan for the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2013b) and in support of the Refuge’s Habitat Restoration Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1999). In addition, this IPM Plan includes methods to control insect pests and disease vectors in support of other Complex management goals and objectives. The IPM program greatly benefits the overall mitigation/habitat restoration program on the Complex by preventing the spread of noxious weed species in restoration and remediation project sites. The program also protects restored and remnant native prairie and wetland areas from potential invaders.
