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.
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.
Identify and target known sources/vectors for invasive species (e.g. recreation boats for zebra mussels, outside fire crews).
Develop a strategic plan that includes mapping, monitoring, and treating invasive species (i.e. cheatgrass, medusahead, foxtail, thistle) in key locations...
Explore opportunities or programs that engage citizen scientists to help with invasive species monitoring, detection, and response (e.g. Local Environmental...
Identify climate-adaptive native species for reseeding and restoration.
Plan inspection and cleaning stations that prevent the spread of invasive species.
In areas with excessive hazardous fuels, utilize innovative removal techniques (e.g. prescribed burns, targeted grazing).
Fund inspection and cleaning stations to prevent the spread of invasive species.
