Commentary
Thank you for your report and apologies for not responding in a timely manner. Your report will be shared with managers, though Himalayan blackberry is a widespread invasive in our region, and is managed in a targeted way based on the management goals and agency policies of each site. Even if this site does not turn out to be a priority for management, your report still helps us understand the distribution and impact of invasive species. Best, Lindsey

Remedy
Himalayan blackberry has gone by many names in the Pacific Northwest, and there is yet a common consensus on which species are here and what to call the most dominant species. However, control options are similar.
