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.
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.
Develop fuels management plan focused on high priority areas.
Update relevant wildfire plans to include protocol for the application of herbicides to combat invasive species where appropriate.
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.
