Abstract

The National Park Service (NPS) established Exotic Plant Management Teams (EPMT) in 2000 to provide a “first response” program for dealing with exotic plant invasions in the National Parks. Three teams work at NPS units in the southeastern United States and the Caribbean, with a total of 16 operating in the nation. These three EPMTs serve 37 park units that cover a total of 1.5 million hectares. The EPMTs augment existing exotic plant control efforts with inventory and monitoring, control, education, and research.
