Comments sought for forest-wide invasive plant project
Forest Service completes draft analysis
SAN BERNARDINO – The San Bernardino National Forest has evaluated the effects of the proposed Forest-Wide Invasive Plant Project Environmental Assessment (EA). This project aims to reduce the spread and adverse ecological impacts of invasive, non-native, and/or noxious plants (NNPs) across the landscape of the San Bernardino National Forest. By doing so, we hope to improve resiliency in the ecosystem, enhance native plant diversity, and protect wildlife habitat and riparian areas, bringing a brighter future for our forest.Without active management, invasive plant species will swiftly and drastically alter the ecosystem. These plants bring about a range of adverse environmental effects, including the displacement of native plants, reduction in
