THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE PECOS WATERSHED OF NEW MEXICO AND WILL FOCUS ON NOXIOUS AND INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES. NOXIOUS WEEDS ARE UNDESIRABLE PLANTS WHICH ARE INVASIVE, PERSISTENT, PERNICIOUS, AND TYPICALLY NON-NATIVE. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF MANAGING INVASIVE PLANTS IS TO REDUCE THE DOMINANCE OF THE TARGET SPECIES AND INCREASE THE ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY OF DESIRABLE NATIVE SPECIES. THE CHANGES TO BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES CAUSED BY NOXIOUS AND INVASIVE WEED INFESTATIONS ARE LIKELY PERMANENT PREVENTING THEIR SPREAD IS CRITICAL.OBJECTIVES - PROMOTE A HEALTHY WATERSHED AND REDUCE THE THREAT OF LARGE CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES AND PROVIDE A FUNCTIONING ECOSYSTEM BY ENHANCEMENT OF NATIVE PLANT AND WILDLIFE BIODIVERSITY.OUR OBJECTIVES COMPLY WITH SECRETARIAL ORDERS: SO3347- CONSERVATION STEWARDSHIP AND OUTDOOR RECREATION THROUGH IMPROVING MANAGEMENT OF GAME SPECIES AND THEIR FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT, SO3362-IMPROVING HABITAT QUALITY BY REMOVING ENCROACHING TREES, REHABILITATING FIRE DAMAGED AREAS, TREATING EXOTIC INVASIVE VEGETATION, ETC., SO3372-REDUCING WILDFIRE RISKS THROUGH ACTIVE MANAGEMENT AND USING AN INTEGRATED APPROACH THROUGH REDUCTION OF FUEL LOADS., SO3374-IMPLEMENTING THE JOHN D. DINGELL, JR. CONSERVATION, MANAGEMENT, AND RECREATION ACT IN TERMS OF MAPPING LAND COVER AND SOIL PROPERTIES. THIS PROJECT ALIGNS WITH SECRETARIAL PRIORITIES 5, AND 8, BY COLLABORATING TOWARD SHARED CONSERVATION STEWARDSHIP IN AN ETHICALLY COMPLIANT WORKPLACE FREE OF HARASSMENT.METHODS OF SERVICE TREATMENT WILL BE OBTAINED THROUGH HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS, MECHANICAL EXTRACTION, MULCHING, MASTICATION, HAND CUT AND PILE.
