## Objectives

Invasive plants can dominate and often cause permanent damage to natural plant communities. If not eradicated or controlled, noxious weeds will continue to jeopardize the health of public lands and to constrain the myriad activities that occur on them. These reforms allow the Bureau to realign time and resources to completing important on–the-groundwork. To encourage interested State and local governments and Federal agencies to work together to inventory, manage, restore, educate, reduce the spread of, and prevent the further invasion and establishment of noxious, invasive weeds, and other invasive species. These entities will develop and implement Integrated Pest Management Plans (IMPs) to develop and implement projects that foster consultation and cooperation among stakeholders, interested parties, and the public and to organize, finalize, and develop projects to implement IPM plans for noxious weeds or invasive species within a specific geographic area.
