Deadline: 12/16/2019
Amount: Unspecified
Description:
The purpose of this program is to provide additional financial resources for enhancing on-the-ground noxious weed management within the state, and to prevent the spread of noxious weeds onto federal lands.
The following priority species and project areas must be the main component of all projects:
  1. Early detection and eradication of List A species: projects must include activities involving immediate containment of known populations, intensive surveys of surrounding areas or susceptible lands, and initiation of multiyear eradication efforts
  2. List B species: projects must result in outcomes that are effective and measurable in terms of significantly eliminating populations, significantly shrinking containment areas along clearly determined lines, treating outlying disjunct populations, treating vector corridors, protecting valuable natural resources, and/or controlling new or established populations
  3. List C species: projects must primarily target treatment of List A or B species; however, projects treating List C species may be considered if the List C species is identified as a high priority in the county and if the proposed treatment may eventually eliminate the species
Funding will be provided for the following program components:
  1. (Part A): Noxious Weed Fund Grants
  2. (Part B): U.S. Forest Service (USFS) State and Private Forestry (SPF) Grants
