Objectives - Coordinate a cooperative weed management program for consistent management on a landscape scale. - Collaborate and treat Federal lands as well as county roads or county administered properties. - Conduct treatments on County administered lands, targeting areas and species which will be complementary to the County noxious weed control efforts. - Conduct inventories of roadside noxious weed infestations. Methods - Utilize County Crews or Contactors for noxious weed control efforts. - Evaluate/monitor treatment effectiveness. - Evaluate treatment effectiveness. Treatment Areas - Proposed project areas may include: o U.S. Forest Service Roads/Lands, Campgrounds, and Trailheads within the County - Acreage treated will be dependent upon the severity of the weed infestations. Reporting - A copy of the daily application records along with map locations of the weed infestations will be submitted to the District Weed Program Manager, no later than September 30th annually. Expected Results and Environmental Compliance The results of this collaboration: 50-85% mortality of treated noxious weeds, resulting in each following year’s herbicide input to decline. Mortality will be dependent upon the weed species treated. All environmental compliance and permitting for the project have been completed.
