Technicians recording habitat data in riparian woodland sites invaded by tamarisk at RMRS Albuquerque study sites on the Middle Rio Grande
The Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) Invasive Species Working Group is a multidisciplinary team drawn
from five major RMRS Programs across the Interior West. This cross-program group synthesizes RMRS research studies
covering diverse disciplines to: (1) improve access to cohesive information addressing critical invasive species
issues, (2)
identify emerging research needs, and (3) promote the generation of innovative tools and technologies for managing
invasive species. The Working Group has developed a quarterly newsletter and this
website to familiarize RMRS stakeholders and customers with RMRS invasive species research activities and provide
a comprehensive and easily accessible source for research findings.
