Plans & strategies

Connect public strategies with practical community priorities.

Source check: October 17, 2026

A useful plan names the problem, assigns responsibility, defines success, and makes progress visible. This library brings public planning sources alongside a proposed framework for community work.

Read the public plans

HISC’s planning library includes statewide, regional, and species-focused documents. These are important records of what institutions have proposed or committed to. A published strategy is not proof that every action was completed.

Our proposed community planning framework

  • Describe the place, the problem, and the people affected.
  • Identify cultural, ecological, and food-system priorities with those responsible for the place.
  • Compare feasible nonchemical options and document uncertainties.
  • Assign responsibilities, resources, and a schedule.
  • Choose observable outcomes and a baseline before work starts.
  • Review results, adverse effects, costs, and what should change.

A CRB starting point

Use the CRB guides to separate prevention, palm protection, and monitoring. A neighborhood plan should explain how these tasks connect without treating any one activity as guaranteed eradication.
