National Wildlife Refuge System Invasive Species Strike Team Act of 2025

This bill establishes a formal National Wildlife Refuge System Invasive Species Strike Team Program under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It requires regional teams trained in early detection and rapid response to prevent, control, and eradicate invasive species harming native wildlife and habitats on or near National Wildlife Refuges, using science-based methods and partnerships with states, tribes, and local entities. The program is funded at $15 million annually from 2026-2030 and mandates annual reports to Congress on progress in managing priority invasive species. It directly affects National Wildlife Refuge lands and adjacent properties by coordinating invasive species management with nearby landowners and agencies.
