Although fire and invasive plant management are typically seen as two separate land management needs, the increase of invasive grasses and other invaders that promote or are promoted by fire, has forced practitioners on both sides to learn the others’ tools, although often too late to abate the threat efficiently or effectively.
The Florida-Caribbean Fire & Invasives Learning Network seeks to collaborate with practitioners across the region in order to advancing the needs and tools of both the fire and invasives communities requires a proactive approach that explores the connections between fire and invasives across the greater landscape, while building the capacity of practitioners on the ground.
