GLCA RABR Integrated Pest Management Plan

INTRODUCTION

This Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan is intended to be a practical management guide and decision-making tool for all National Park Service (NPS) employees, concessionaires, contractors, permittees, licensees, and visitors of the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area (GLCA) and the Rainbow Bridge National Monument (RABR). Because RABR is administered by GLCA, this IPM plan covers both of these NPS units. Through IPM and the detailed information provided in this IPM plan, pests can be effectively managed and prevented. This IPM plan should be reviewed and updated frequently for the best possible guidance regarding pest identification and control for GLCA and RABR (the Park). However, before implementing any project that involves pest control in the Park, one must consult with the appropriate departments and personnel of the Park and other agencies to ensure that all policies and regulations are followed. Components addressing Museum IPM issues and actions are incorporated throughout this IPM plan,
