National Wildlife Refuge System Invasive Species Strike Team Act of 2025

H.R. 4219, the National Wildlife Refuge System Invasive Species Strike Team Act of 2025, would establish a dedicated strike team focused on addressing invasive species problems within the National Wildlife Refuge System. Invasive species are non-native organisms that can damage ecosystems, harm native wildlife, and degrade habitats across the nation's refuges.

If enacted, this bill would create a specialized team tasked with identifying, monitoring, and controlling invasive species in wildlife refuges. Such a team could help protect the ecological integrity of these protected lands and the native species that depend on them. The bill is currently in the House and has been referred to committee for consideration, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
