What it does

Federally recognized Indian Tribes are invited to share priorities on invasive species management, including new threats, cross-jurisdictional efforts, and areas to emphasize in the revised plan. The Department will use the 2021-2025 plan as the foundation for the next plan, so tribal input can shape which components are kept, updated, or re-prioritized. The draft revised plan is expected to be posted in the Federal Register this fall for review.

Why it matters for tribal funding
