Non-native species (NNS) can negatively impact the planet's natural systems in a myriad of ways. Understanding people's beliefs and attitudes towards NNS and measuring the motivations, constraints, and facilitators behind environmental stewardship will help natural resource managers to mitigate the potentially negative effects of some NNS. Using a survey (n = 356) of three stakeholder groups (i.e., park patrons, adjacent landowners, and park volunteers) the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) was used to predict the amount of participation in NNS plant removal activities and environmental stewardship. An analysis of variance was used to identify significant differences (p ≤ .05) between stakeholder groups. The significant differences included motivations (economic, environmental, socializing, and encouragement), constraints and facilitators (physical exertion, costs, and personal interest in environmental protection), attitudes (attitude towards NNS, free time, endangered species), and demographics (age and number of children per household). A linear regression was used to test the relationship between independent variables and participation in environmental stewardship (dependent variable). Certain elements were related to people's participation over the past two years including attitude, outdoor recreation participation, motivation to minimize environmental degradation, income, and the amount of free time. One management recommendation is for the manager to know his or her audience in order to better target future environmental stewards. Other management recommendations are included.
