Subject: [DOI Invasive Species] Firefighters, meet
invasive species - New pocket guide released
DOI Invasive Species Community,
Thanks to Aaron Martin, (USFWS Aquatic Invasive Species
Program Coordinator - Alaska Region), for sharing information about this new
publication.
Check out the newly completed firefighter invasive
species pocket guide that the USFWS (Lisa Saperstein - Regional Fire Ecologist
- Alaska Region) teamed up with BLM, USDA, and the State of Alaska to create.
It is focused on interior Alaska. It will be replaced with a 508 compliant
version as soon as it is finished, after which it will also be on the USFS
website and others.
