1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by an invasive species control plan generator, information regarding controlling invasive species from at least one of a user, a database, a data feed, and a remote sensor via a communication network;
automatically generating, by the Invasive species control plan generator, one or more invasive species control plans for controlling invasive species in one or more locations based upon the received information;
automatically evaluating, by the invasive species control plan generator, the one or more invasive species control plans according to one or more criterion;
selecting, by the invasive species control plan generator, one of the generated invasive species control plans responsively to the evaluation;
providing, by the Invasive species control plan generator, the selected invasive species control plan to the user via the communication network;
generating, by the invasive species control plan generator, a set of instructions for execution of a portion of the selected invasive species control plan; and
providing, by the invasive species control plan generator, the set of instructions to at least one of the user, a manager, the database, the data feed, the remote sensor, and a piece of equipment utilized to execute a portion of the selected invasive species control plan.

Abstract
Invasive species control plans may be automatically generated using vegetation control information received from a variety of sources. Such invasive species control plans may aid vegetation control personnel and professionals when determining an invasive species control strategy, including treatment and restoration, and then guide the implementation of that strategy. Invasive species control plans may include a variety of recommended vegetation control practices and projected outcomes for the implementation of recommended vegetation control management practices.
