Invasive plants are typically introduced to British Columbia (BC) by humans from foreign countries or to ecosystems outside of their natural distributions. These introduced invasive plants lack natural predators and pathogens that would otherwise keep their populations in check. A common characteristic of all invasive plants is their aggressive, competitive behaviour. Once established, invasive plants have a tremendous capacity to invade adjacent, undisturbed natural plant communities, displace wildlife and disrupt natural ecosystem functions.
The purpose of the Okanagan Region Invasive Plant Strategy is to address invasive plant management issues within Okanagan Region Provincial Parks, Protected Areas, Ecological Reserves and Conservation Lands (Nature Trust of BC Lease-Back Lands and Wildlife Management Areas) in a proactive manner. Strategic Goals selected to guide the Invasive Plant Program include: Partnerships and Coordination; Education and Public Awareness; Research; Prevention; Early Detection; Rapid Response; and Integrated Management.
