Title:

I: 199 - Treat Exotic Invasive Species

Description:

The USFS Environmental Assessment completed in 2004 identifies the Musselshell Meadows as a highly used, culturally sensitive area of particular concern to the Nez Perce Tribe. During the 2007 field season, NPT completed a non-native, invasive plant inventory in Musselshell Meadows which was utilized to develop a treatment plan for the highest priority areas of the 190 acre meadow area and surrounding areas. The focus will include corridors of invasion, such as roads, trails, and disturbed areas.

The Nez Perce Tribe will collaborate with the Nez Perce - Clearwater National Forests (NPCNFs) who will implement the invasive plant treatment. The Nez Perce Tribe will assist in inventory, planning, contractor selection, technical oversight, and the final inspection. No BPA funds will be used for the purchase or application of herbicides.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

The area in and around the 190 acre Musselshell Meadow will be treated for non-native, invasive plants by removing weeds by hand pulling or digging. All the treatment will occur within the meadow area, and along adjacent road and trail corridors, access points, and disturbed areas. Target species will include Canada Thistle, Spotted Knapweed, Hounds Tongue, Orange Hawkweed, Reed Canary Grass, and Common Tansy.

All treatment will be implemented by the NPCNFs. The Nez Perce Tribe will store the data in the Nez Perce Tribe DFRM-Watershed geodatabase, and all data will be spatially referenced and available through links on the website.
