The image depicts the designated geographic areas within Natural Area Preserves and State Parks owned or managed by the Commonwealth of Virginia where Phragmites australis (common reed) control activities are planned for September 2026. The map delineates the specific locations where the contractor will be required to conduct manned aerial herbicide applications on a fixed per-acre basis.

The contract opportunity involves aerial herbicide application services for invasive species management across multiple state-managed properties. The contractor will be compensated using a fixed per-acre pricing structure for the treatment of Phragmites australis within the mapped treatment areas. This September 2026 application represents a targeted environmental management initiative by Virginia's DCR to control invasive aquatic vegetation across the state's natural resource areas.
