About this dataset
IAPP CONTAINMENT AREA SP is a closed polygon which delineates an invasive plant population within this established boundary where action is taken to prevent its spread beyond the polygon. Treatment within the polygon will occur for a specific invasive plant when critical thresholds are met or exceeded as defined by the treatment matrix. Containment lines are normally drawn at a provincial (broad) scale and are intended to mimic distinct geographic breaks such as height-of-land, a river or major highway.
