Qualification Credentials: RCEP PDH

The intent of this presentation is to provide non-biologists with definitions, tools, and concepts for the effective control of invasive species in a project area in a manner that could also award them points for the NW3.4 credit. This includes discussing the following topics:

  • Definitions of native, non-native, naturalized, and invasive
  • Where to find sources of information about invasive species
  • A walkthrough of the levels of achievement for NW3.4
  • Various methods by which a project could obtain the different levels of achievement
  • The kinds of documentation that could be used to show achievement to a 3rd party reviewer
  • Optional ideas for controlling invasive species that could potentially award innovation points
  • Other credit categories that could be pursued in tandem with NW3.4
