Teton County Weed and Pest
Snake River (Idaho) Weed Control
PROJECT NUMBER 2002-0311-009
NFWF & JHOF Partnership: $4,900
Local Match: $71,200
Teton County Weed & Pest is a state mandated organization that helps the
State of Wyoming and Teton County control a designated list of noxious
weed species and a small handful of designated pests. The main emphasis
of the program is noxious weed control and a variety of consultation
services which we provide to Teton County residents.
The Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation - National Fish and Wildlife
Foundation Conservation Partnership Program is providing funding to help
facilitate the removal of noxious weeds and the restoration of native
vegetation within the Snake River corridor in Teton County, Wyoming. Objectives
of the project will be two fold. The first objective will be weed
control and ultimately wildlife and fisheries habitat restoration
accomplished by government agencies and community weed pull. The second
objective will be educating the public on the importance of noxious week
control and the restoration of native vegetation. The project is divided
into three phases. Phase I was fully funded and is completed. This
project provides funding for Phase II, which began in June 2003.
Project Status:
This project was completed in October of 2003 and was a huge success.
During phase II they were able to treat 91.53 acres. In this area they
pulled weeds, and laid down 400 pounds of grass seed to help prevent
regrowth of weeds. They were also able to allocate funding to search for
invasive plants that must be caught in their early stages so they may be
eradicated to prevent more prolific infestations.
