- What it does
- Invasive plants can dominate and often cause permanent damage to natural plant communities. If not eradicated or controlled, noxious weeds will continue to jeopardize the health of public lands and to constrain the myriad activities that occur on them. These reforms allow the Bureau to realign time and resources to completing important on–the-groundwork. To encourage interested State and local governments and Federal agencies to work together to inventory, manage, restore, educate, reduce the spread of, and prevent the further invasion and establishment of noxious, invasive weeds, and other invasive species. These entities will develop and implement Integrated Pest Management Plans (IMPs) to develop and implement projects that foster consultation and cooperation among stakeholders, interested parties, and the public and to organize, finalize, and develop projects to implement IPM plans for noxious weeds or invasive species within a specific geographic area.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
