Experimental use of baking soda/vinegar on cut stumps Research on cut stump methods
Best Practices for Construction and Soil Disturbance Importing clean materials (straw, seed) Awareness in moving materials (dirt, rock) Soil coverage and seeding Establishment of native woody plants in large disturbed areas.
Prompt hydroseeding of site Planting of native trees and shrubs Early and frequent control of establishing exotics (scotch broom, thistle)
Inspection of imported gravel Re-use of stockpiled material from the site Equipment clean and inspected prior to bringing on site Immediate use of seed on disturbed areas to reduce invasions
BMP’s for roadside mowing/brush management Hand pulling and removal
Timing of work with regard to flowering cycles Cleaning of equipment when taken off site Cleaning of equipment when moving from infested areas to clean areas
Time consuming Necessary in quickly flowering annuals Necessary inside drainage boundary
Orange/Meadow hawkweed (Hieracium aurianticum, H. caespitosum) Hand pulling inside drainage boundary only Clematis (Clematis vitalba) Hand pulling inside drainage boundary only English Ivy (Hedera helix) Small populations and inside drainage boundary Shining geranium (Geranium lucidum) Three small populations in drainage boundary Spotted and diffuse knapweed (Centaurea stoebe, Centaurea diffusa) Hand pulling inside drainage boundary Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) hand pulling (near BRWMU boundaries but not inside), very small populations
Wildland Areas Road Monitoring Heavy Use/Public Use Areas
Off-road monitoring Rotate monitoring areas 2-4 years
58 miles gravel 118 miles paved 189 miles decommissioned
Continue coordination work Continue focus on prevention Focus control work on eradicable or containable species
