Umatilla National Forest

Invasive Plant Environmental Impact Statement

The Umatilla National Forest proposes to control, contain, or eradicate invasive plants on nearly 25,000 acres. These plants have the potential to displace or alter native plant communities and cause long-lasting economic and ecological problems within and outside the National Forests.

Regional Invasive Plant EIS
This decision amended all Forest Plans in the Region, adding new direction for the control or elimination of invasive plant species using prevention practices, various mechanical and hand treatments, and an updated list of herbicides for effectively responding to invasive plant threats. The purpose of this project is to enhance the ability of Forests in the Pacific Northwest Region to protect native ecosystems from invasive, non-native plants
