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