Treatment is proposed on about 2,700 currently infested acres. The Proposed Action includes a holistic combination of treatment methods including manual, mechanical, cultural (grazing with goats), ground based herbicide application, and site restoration. The project is intended to effectively treat invasive plants while minimizing adverse effects from treatment. Additional acres may be treated as part of an early detection, rapid response prescription.
