Summary:
Traditional Ecological Knowledge is a form of Integrated Pest Management and incorporation of that concept into workshops serves to unite Tribal and non-Tribal land managers while empowering Tribal members to protect culturally important natural resources. Over the past several years, the Western Regional IPM Work Group convened workshops where representatives from 33 Tribes, 17 government and state agencies and 9 research institutions came together to discuss IPM needs and barriers, identify priority needs, and expand relationships and mutual understanding.
As a logical next step, we are applying for Outreach and Implementation funds to conduct the highest Priority IPM training for Tribes. We propose to extend to new geographic areas our collaborative trainings for identification of forest pests and diseases and implementation of integrated pest management forest health practices. In 2016 we will: 1) convene tribal field trainings for wildland pests in Northern California and Arizona; and 2) share how TEK can be incorporated into plant and pest management, host a demonstration field visit to the Lockwood Plant Materials Center. Objectives: A cohesive, collaborative group of Tribes, researchers and government entities improve protection of valuable resources that are important to the cultural integrity to the Tribes and greater population. Reduced instances where invasive species negatively impact Tribal cultural and natural resources. |
