City of Portland Invasive Species Strategy 2020-2030 ("Invasives 2.0")

The City of Portland has announced the passage of a resolution package by Portland City Council that sets the stage for the next decade-plus of citywide invasive species targets, action plans, and policies. The City of Portland Invasive Species Strategy 2020-2030 ("Invasives 2.0") is the continuation of work that began in 2005 when the city developed an invasive plants strategy that resulted in policy and municipal code changes that were considered groundbreaking at the time for a city to implement. Invasives 2.0 continues that tradition, with goals and objectives that expand Portland’s policies to include invertebrates that threaten not just natural areas and the urban forest, but also traditional grey infrastructure such as pipes and pumps. Check out the two documents linked below:
