The San Francisco Bay Area Network (SFAN) is one of eight networks
in the Pacific West Region of the NPS. SFAN is composed of eight
park units and includes Point Reyes National Seashore (PORE),
Pinnacles National Monument (PINN), John Muir National Historic
Site (JOMU), Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site (EUON), and
Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GOGA) including Muir Woods
National Monument and Fort Point National Historic Site. The
network fosters collaboration and creates efficiencies of scale in
designing and implementing a natural resource focused Inventory and
Monitoring (I&M) program. The network has identified vital
signs, indicators of ecosystem health, which represent a broad
suite of ecological phenomena operating across multiple temporal
and spatial scales. Our intent has been to monitor a balanced and
integrated "package" of vital signs that meets the needs of current
park management, but will also be able to accommodate unanticipated
environmental conditions in the future. Invasive plants represent a
particularly high priority vital sign for SFAN because of the
negative effects they have on the park resources, including
altering landscapes and fire regimes, reducing native plant and
animal habitat, and blocking views and increasing trail maintenance
needs. Parks need to know where incipient populations of highly
invasive plants are becoming established, and protect the most
critical areas from invasion. This year was the second full field
season of testing the early detection protocol. The methods
detailed in this report focus on surveying road- and trail-side in
priority areas using volunteers, and is based on the SFAN I&M
Network's Early Detection Monitoring of Invasive Plant Species in
the San Francisco Bay Area Network: A Volunteer-Based Approach.
