Manage and reduce the impacts of dangerous and/or invasive plants and animals (e.g. deer, coyotes, vines)

Inva­sive plants and ani­mals are incred­i­bly dis­rup­tive to native species habi­tats and ecosys­tems, great­ly con­tribute to a loss of bio­di­ver­si­ty, and can often be a nui­sance to human pop­u­la­tions. The Town should iden­ti­fy inva­sive plants and ani­mals, as well as their impact on local habi­tats, and devel­op a plan to reduce those impacts. Res­i­dents should be pro­vid­ed with edu­ca­tion­al mate­ri­als that address the con­trol of vines and inva­sive plants and the Town should con­tin­ue to dis­sem­i­nate infor­ma­tion found in the Town’s Coy­ote Response Plan to help res­i­dents under­stand coy­ote behav­ior and enhance aware­ness of safe­ty techniques.
