ST. LAWRENCE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO PARTNERSHIP FOR REGIONAL INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT
Lakeview Wildlife Management Area spans 3,461 acres making part of the largest natural freshwater barrier beach system in New York State. Lakeview is located off State Route 2, 20 miles southwest of Watertown or 15 miles northwest of Pulaski. Lakeview provides diverse habitats including, open fields, shrub lands, woodlands, wetlands, and a natural barrier beach. It is open to the public year-round with restricted access to the sensitive barrier beach system.

These 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 categorized in each tier are dependent on species distribution, abundance, and management options available, 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.
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.
No Tier 1 Species were found at this PCA at this time.
The 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.
No Tier 2 Species were found at this PCA at this time.
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.
Common buckthorn
Glossy buckthorn
Japanese knotweed
Oriental bittersweet
Yellow iris
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.
Curly-leaved pondweed
Eurasian water-milfoil
European frog-bit
Honeysuckle spp.
Leafy spurge
Purple loosestrife
Wild parsnip
Zebra mussel
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.
No Tier 5 Species were found at this PCA at this time.
