Summary:
Project will provide information and outreach regarding the targeted use of livestock and biologicals as integrated weed management tools to manage large-scale noxious weed problems on public and private lands in the Great Basin of eastern Nevada/western Utah, using seminars and workshops by subject matter experts at a regional weed-control meeting, and through information distribution using printed and electronic means. Information use will result in reduction in use of chemicals for weed control in the region; a reduced chemical exposure to weed control personnel, livestock, and the environment; and a reduction in wildfire fuels over wide areas (with resulting reduced fire severity and suppression costs). Participating stakeholders will include state, Federal (USFS and BLM) and local land managers and ranchers, weed control agency staff, licensed chemical applicators, and the public. Project provides education in the use of the two methods as alternatives to chemical weed control.
Objectives: 1) The principal objective of this project is the presentation of educational information and materials related to the targeted use of livestock as an integrated weed (pest) management tool on public rangeland and private ranches in the project area. 2) A secondary objective is the presentation of information and materials relating the use of biological methods as an additional alternative method of weed control. 3) An additional objective, supporting the first two, is the implementation of educational outreach activities regarding these alternatives using printed and electronic media. 4) The fourth and final objective is the collection of anecdotal and actual data from private and public land managers regarding the use of livestock in weed control activities for presentation at the 2012 annual meeting. |
