Tribe: Shoshone Paiute Tribes
View Source Document: Shoshone Paiute Tribes Climate Resilience Plan
Year: 2020
Topic: Ensure that all ecosystems are thriving, vibrant, and resilient.
Train tribal members to safely and effectively apply herbicides/pesticides to combat invasive species.
Explore alternate technologies for herbicide spraying (e.g. drones).
Coordinate with agencies responsible for re-seeding post-wildfire to monitor seed type, seed dispersal, and seed-mixtures.
Build and strengthen partnerships (e.g. BLM) that could support grazing as a fuel reduction strategy.
Develop a tribal restoration plan focused on supporting native species post-wildfire (i.e. use volunteer groups).
Fund native species restoration program in preparation for wildfires.
Develop a training program focused on training “watershed emergency response teams” to be deployed post-wildfire.
Identify funding to ensure “watershed emergency response teams” can be assembled and deployed on a timely basis after a wildfire.
Identify opportunities to increase tribal production of native plants to be used on Duck Valley post-wildfire.
Update relevant wildfire-focused plans to include inspecting irrigation ditch liners post-wildfire for damage.
Develop a test plot targeted at invasive removal after wildfire (e.g. thistle removal from willow stands).
Map and identify (through GIS and remote sensing) conditions that create fire refugia or areas less prone to fire.
