APPENDIX D – Invasive Species Monitoring and Control Guidelines<br />
Monitoring and control of invasive species should follow the guidelines provided in the<br />
SE Zone Invasive Exotic <strong>Plan</strong>t Management Toolkit. These activities should be reported<br />
on the forms provided in the toolkit.<br />
Nine species are considered invasive or potentially invasive at <strong>Sandbanks</strong>. Updated<br />
recommendations for the 5 most invasive species at <strong>Sandbanks</strong> are summarized below.<br />
The other species are Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), Rambler Rose (Rosa multiflora),<br />
European Frogbit (Hydrocharis morsis-ranae), and Eurasian milfoil (Myriophyllum<br />
spicatum). The two rose species are not likely acting as invasives and do not require<br />
formal monitoring. Control of the aquatic species is unlikely to be successful.<br />

High priority in less disturbed areas and in one area of Outlet<br />
Campground A<br />
Outlet River Campground Areas A & B and several other<br />
locations<br />
Hand-pulling, cutting, spraying with glyphosate, brush<br />
blankets<br />
Mechanical methods only in wildflower area of campground<br />
Experimental application of control methods should continue<br />
to be monitored for success<br />
High in all locations<br />
Limited to a few areas, especially Lakeshore Lodge area,<br />
but spreading<br />
Hand-pulling, cutting, spraying with glyphosate<br />
Glyphosate is likely only successful method, but flowering<br />
plants should at least be cut<br />
Medium<br />
Throughout – most common in old field areas<br />
Mapping<br />
Removal should coincide with old field restoration<br />
Medium<br />
East Lake and West Lake wetlands<br />
Hand-pulling in pannes since 1990, and a no-control area<br />
established 2003<br />
If plants do not invade the no-control area within 5-10 years,<br />
control efforts may be reduced<br />
WHITE SWEET<br />
CLOVER<br />
Priority for Removal<br />
Location and Abundance<br />
Medium<br />
Becoming more abundant in disturbed areas of West Lake<br />
