ST. LAWRENCE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO PARTNERSHIP FOR REGIONAL INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT

Little John Wildlife Management Area

About this Priority Conservation Area (PCA)

The Little John Wildlife Management Area (WMA) encompasses roughly 8,000 acres of pristine forest and wetland habitats. It is found on the northwest slope of the Tug Hill Plateau, split between northern Oswego and southern Jefferson Counties. Invasive Species Established in Little John WMA.

Tier List Species Recorded at This PCA

The invasive species tiers guide management priorities in New York State and are utilized by the Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management or PRISM network. The species in each tier are categorized by their distribution, abundance, and available management options, and may vary depending on the region. The species listed below are the species categorized in the SLELO PRISM region. View a full list of tiered species in the SLELO PRISM.  Learn about New York State Invasive Species Tiers and view a Story-Map

Tier 1 Species

Early Detection/Prevention 

The management approach is early detection & prevention. Species are not known to be in the SLELO region but are within 100 miles and an introduction pathway exists. 

Species Recorded at This PCA

No tier 1 species are found at this PCA at this time. 

Tier 2 Species

Eradication

Management approach is eradication. Species are known to be present in the SLELO region but are in low abundance with suitable treatment methods available to make eradication feasible with Priority Conservation Areas. 

Species Recorded at This PCA

No tier 2 species are found at this PCA at this time. 

Tier 3 Species

Containment/Exclusion

The management approach is containment/exclusion. Species are too widespread for eradication from the region, but some areas remain unaffected. Targeted management can be used to suppress the population within Priority Conservation Areas. 

Species Recorded at This PCA
  • Common buckthorn
  • Phragmites
  • Glossy buckthorn

Tier 4 Species

Suppression/Local Control

The management approach is suppression/local control. Species are present and widespread throughout the region with no chance of eradication. Localized management is applied to protect high-priority resources like rare plant habitats or recreation areas. 

Species Recorded at This PCA
  • Japanese knotweed 
  • Purple loosestrife
  • Honeysuckle spp.                     

Tier 5 Species

Monitor

The management approach is to monitor. Species may or may not be in the region but are difficult to respond to or require more knowledge of distribution, and management options. 

Species Recorded at This PCA

No tier 5 species are found at this PCA at this time. 

Species Recorded at this PCA that are not listed in SLELO PRISM's Tiers

  • Coltsfoot
  • Bishops goutweed
