Invasive Species Management: State Department of
Transportation Perspectives
Taneka
Jackson, Illinois
Department of Transportation
Peter
Dunleavy, New
York State Department of Transportation
State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) have jurisdiction over large
rights-of-way which form pathways where Phragmites and other
invasive plants can move through the landscape. This, combined with land
disturbance for capital projects and maintenance, plus mowing and other
regular movement of vehicles and materials combine to pose significant
invasive species control challenges. Join Taneka Jackson of the Illinois
Department of Transportation and Peter Dunleavy of the New York State
Department of Transportation to discuss challenges and opportunities
they see from a DOT perspective. They will share background information about
DOTs involvement with invasives including training, staffing, some of
their specific experiences managing invasive plants, the use of GIS in
mapping and management and the importance of partnerships. They will be
joined by Bob Batt of Michigan DOT and John Rowen of New York State DOT
during Q&A time. Come learn about these resources that crisscross
the basin.
