VT Department Of Agriculture Creates Noxious Plants Rule To Combat Invasive Plant Problem
Click here to view the entire rule (pdf format) MONTPELIER- As warmer weather brings us back into our re-enlivened gardens, fields, and forests, The Nature Conservancy and the Vermont Department of Agriculture are asking Vermonters to check for plants that can escape cultivation and cause tremendous damage to the natural environment and the working landscape.
Beautiful But Harmful
Plants such as purple loosestrife, Japanese knotweed, common buckthorn, Japanese barberry, and some varieties of honeysuckle have been used widely in horticulture, landscaping and erosion control, and can be found in backyards, wetlands and forest edges throughout the state. At first glance these plants may look pretty, but their beauty is deceptive. Known as invasive species, plants like these are typically transplants from distant places. Once free from the natural checks and balances that kept them under control in their native realms, these plants can establish themselves in new areas and proliferate to the detriment of native species.
They often hoard light, water and nutrients, and can even alter entire ecosystems by changing soil chemistry or hydrological processes. As a result, invasive plants can overtake native plants and, in turn, displace the animals that had relied on the native plants for food and shelter. With intentional and unintentional assistance from people, these problematic plants are spreading at an alarming rate, infecting natural areas across the United States.

Wood packaging EIS From: phytodoer@aol.com (Faith T. Campbell, Invasive Species Program) INVASIVE SPECIES America's forests and other ecosystems are threatened by invasions of exotic species of insects, disease pathogens, and plants. Already, insects, fungi, and disease pathogens introduced from Europe and Asia have damaged 70% of the 165 million acres of forest in the Northeast and Midwest. Exotic weeds infest a total area as large as Texas; they are damaging half our National parks and 60% of preserves managed by The Nature Conservancy. Invasive exotic species threaten nearly half of all America's imperiled species.

Inadequate Responses to Bio i nvasion Every day, new species are brought into the country species that may prove to be as harmful as those already wreaking such havoc. Many come in as unwanted "hitchhikers" on various types of cargo, including on imported logs, lumber and wood chips; in wooden packing crates and pallets; on imported plants, fruits, and cut flowers; in ships' ballast water; even attached to the ships and planes themselves.

A NATIONWIDE THREAT Noxious weeds and invasive plant species pose an increasing threat to native ecosystems, croplands, and other plant communities throughout the United States.
While weeds have long been recognized as a problem for agriculture, the potential impact to other plant communities, including wildlands, is receiving greater attention. There are an estimated 2,000 invasive and noxious weed species already established in the United States. Escalating worldwide trade and travel will only increase the risk of further invasions. All ecosystems-urban, suburban and rural, including wildlands, rangelands, forests, riparian areas, and wetlands-are vulnerable to invasion. Experience and research have shown that invasive and noxious weeds can no longer be considered a problem only on disturbed sites. Noxious and invasive plant species have become established within relatively undisturbed ecosystems, including entire ecosystems such as the Florida Everglades. Noxious weeds pose an increasing threat to the integrity of wildland ecosystems, including specially designated areas such as wilderness and research natural areas.

Statement by Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt on Invasive Alien Species
"Science in Wildland Weed Management" Symposium, Denver, CO, April 8, 1998 "The invasion of noxious alien species wreaks a level of havoc on America’s environment and economy that is matched only by by damage caused by floods, earthquakes, mudslides, hurricanes, and wildfire. These aliens are quiet opportunists, spreading in a slow motion explosion. Each year noxious weeds exact an ever-heavier toll: Farmers and ranchers spend more than $5 billion just for control. Losses to crop and rangeland productivity exceed $7 billion. Weeds infest 100 million acres in the U.S., spread at 14 percent per year, and on public lands consume 4,600 acres of wildlife habitat per day. They diminish or cause the extinction of native plants and animals, a third of all listed species. They homogenize the diversity of creation. They ignore borders and property lines. No place is immune. Consider the damage done by purple loosetrife, a beautiful, seemingly harmless flower one might be pleased to find in a meadow. But not for long. For this species, found in 36 states, costs $45 million to manage. To bring this into a statewide perspective, consider that Florida spends $11 million each year to manage water hyacinth. Tropical soda apple, first reported in Florida, now covers 370,000 acres and costs the state $28 million. In the past it was, again, much easier for an individual, a state, a federal agency to dismiss this invasion as someone else's problem. And so the weeds slowly, silently, almost invisibly, but steadily spread all around us until, literally encircled, we can no longer turn our backs on it. The invasion is now our problem. Our battle. Our enemy.

Federal Highway Administration Guidance on Invasive Species August 10, 1999
Background On February 3, 1999, President Clinton signed Executive Order 13112 (E.O.) which calls on Executive Branch agencies to work to prevent and control the introduction and spread of invasive species. Nonnative flora and fauna can cause significant changes to ecosystems, upset the ecological balance, and cause economic harm to our Nation’s agricultural and recreational sectors. For example, introduced plants, such as Kudzu in the southeastern States and purple loosestrife throughout the country, have choked out native plant species and consequently have altered wildlife and fish habitat. Transportation systems can facilitate the spread of plant and animal species outside their natural range, both domestically and internationally. Those species that are likely to harm the environment, human health, or economy are of particular concern. The Department of Transportation’s efforts to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species are consistent with: (1) the Department’s strategic goal of protecting the natural environment, service, and teamwork; (2) statutory mandates to protect against aquatic invasive species; (3) the Department’s active participation on interagency committees such as the Federal Interagency Committee for Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW), the Native Plant Conservation Initiative (NPCI), the Interagency Ecosystem Management Task force, and the Interagency Working Group on Endangered Species; and (4) the 1994 Presidential Memorandum on Environmentally and Economically Beneficial Landscaping Practices. The U.S. Department of Transportation has traditionally been in the forefront of national efforts to prevent and control the introduction of invasive species. On April 22, 1999, Secretary Slater issued a

What are Invasive Plant Species, Anyway?
Why do we need a definition? Because we nationally need to "pull together" and one accepted definition will allow us to do that smoothly. Let's begin by calling them weeds. Everyone has a definition for a weed similar to a plant out of place. With this definition we call a dandelion in your front yard, a weed. Beyond this simplistic definition most States have defined noxious weed lists. Pick out the purple loosestrife in this bouquet of invasive plants. A noxious weed is one that has been determined by the State to be detrimental to agriculture, your health, or the environment. If your State has purple loosestrife on their list, that means the State could fine you if you do not remove it. An invasive plant species is certainly a weed, not only out of place, but out of its country or region of origin. It is an introduced plant species that is aggressive. The Norway maple in your yard would fit this definition. It might or might not be on your State's noxious weed list. Kudzu, knapweed, star thistle, and mile-a-minute vine fit also. The definition used by the Executive Order 13112 is "an alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health." No sweat, you say! Then legally I do not have to do anything about an invasive plant species. Wrong. Any State Department of Transportation who uses federal funding, must avoid the planting of "known invasives" (State noxious weeds) or lose funding. Also each DOT must include an analysis of invasive species and future management on any new project during the NEPA process. If you care about the future value of your neighborhood, your local nature preserve or park, wildlife habitat, biodiversity or any other environmental or esthetic characteristic that adds up to your quality of life, you also care about invasive species!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Purple flowers of the highly invasive Patterson's Curse infest the Warrumbungle National Park in New South Wales
The term invasive species usually refers to a certain subset of those species defined as introduced species . A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not native), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location, threatening the local biodiversity . U.S. Executive Order 13112 (1999) defines "invasive species" as "an alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health" (CEQ, 1999). Thus, the term is used to imply a sense of actual or potential harm, something that may not be true for all introduced species Although an invasive species is defined as an introduced species that has become a pest, it is possible that a species native to a particular area can, under the influence of human modifications to the environment, increase in numbers and become an invasive pest species. The Pied Currawong of south-east Australia is an example: as a result of human changes to the landscape, Pied Currawongs increased greatly in range during the 20th century and have caused substantial declines in the populations of the smaller birds they prey on the nestlings of.

Wild flowers or Invasive Noxious Weeds?
Foreign plant species escaping from the garden or landscape can have a devastating impact on native plants and animals. Please help in protecting the natural environment of British Columbia! BC’s noxious weeds are typically exotic or non-native plants that have been introduced to this province without their natural predators. Left unchecked, these weeds destroy our native plant and animal habitat. They are among the top cause for losses in the natural diversity of our environment, and are devastating to the economy. Weeds cause crop losses well in excess of $50 million annually in BC.
Impact
Invasive plants have the capacity to move into a habitat and reproduce so aggressively that they displace the original vegetation. They:
  • crowd out native plants, including rare and endangered species destroy wildlife habitat reduce crop yields (on average 10 to 15 %) reduce crop quality (taint food products with off flavours, toxic berries, spines, etc.)

Lythrum salicaria as in purple loosestrife? It is a quarantined noxious weed in Oregon (no nursery can legally sell, propagate or transport it). I thought it was listed as same in Washington so I'm surprised to hear that you bought it at a nursery. It is *very* invasive - thousands of seeds from one flower, IIRC, and a serious threat to waterways and native wildlife with millions of dollars (tax dollars, too) spent to control spread of this and other noxious/invasive weeds. There are so many other lovely plants we can grow that don't pose any harm to ecological, agricultural or recreational concerns.

Invasive species of plants and animals are displacing and destroying native species all across our National Forest lands. There unwelcome invaders, which are native or non-native plants, animals, insects and pathogens (disease causing bacterium or fungus), can cause ecological and economic harm as well as create human health issues.
Some invasive species, such as the tamarisk in Utah and Arizona, were introduced on purpose to control erosion, while others, such as the Asian longhorn beetle were accidentally introduced in wood packing crates from China. Today, invasive species cover 3.5 million acres of national forest land and 133 million acres in all ownership nationwide.

The Problem
Invasive plants affect everyone. In days of old, it was mostly farmers and ranchers who battled these species, as the invaders threatened their crops and clogged up harvesting equipment.
Today, the U.S. Geological Survey reports that some $20 billion in damages can be linked to invasive plant life. This affects not only those who make their living directly off the land, but also citizens of cities, suburbs and rural America. When left uncontrolled, the spreading invasive problem produces many direct and secondary negative effects, including:
  • Crowding out desirable, native species Creating plant monocultures Reducing cropland productivity Degrading wildlife habitat Reducing property values Causing soil erosion Harming local economies Crowding out forage for game species and grazing livestock Damaging water resources including fish spawning habitat Negatively impacting endangered species Increasing livestock production costs Interfering with recreational activities in parks, forests and other public lands Decreasing tourism to national parks and monuments Eroding local tax bases Posing reliability threats to utility power lines Increasing the need for road maintenance Obscuring vision at intersections Contributing to wildfires
