The Western Governors’ Association appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) invasive species strategic plan, which is being developed pursuant to section 7001 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Pub. L. 116-9). The Nov. 21, 2019 outreach, signed by WGA Executive Director Jim Ogsbury, highlights several WGA activities and projects related to invasive species management, including creation of the WGA Top 50 Invasive Species in the West; the “WGA Invasive Species Data Management Workshop” hosted by WGA in 2019; adoption of WGA Policy Resolution 2019-06, Biosecurity and Invasive Species Management; and WGA’s Biosecurity and Invasive Species Initiative. “Continue to view Western Governors as a resource and partner in confronting this critical issue,” it concludes.
