Invasive species identifi cation, and minimizing the use o f pesticides, are topics im portant to Native Ameri can communities. D an Fagerlie works for the USDA, in the Washing ton State University Colville Reservation Federally Rec ognized Tribes E xtension program, the FRTEP. Mr. Fagerlie teamed up with the Warm Springs O r egon S tate E x te n sio n FRTEP; and Bill Reynolds, W arm Springs Range and Agriculture. They brought education outreach regarding invasive species to Warm Springs. This project included a workshop and development o f educational signage to p ro m o te aw areness and k n ow ledge o f invasive weeds. B ased on tribal input, they developed signage, post ers and flyers, helping to in crease the W arm Springs com m unity identification and knowledge of invasive and noxious weeds. July 4, 2018 Spilygy Tym oo, W arm Springs, O regon Pgge 2 Courtesy W S OSU Extension Staff and members show some of the outreach material regarding invasive noxious weeds. They did this in order to raise the level o f early de tection and. control. O ne o f the goals o f the project is to increase rapid response detection o f nox ious weed outbreaks. This is accomplished by developing the posters and flyers identi fying noxious weeds: In ad dition to identification, the posters list the names and numbers o f local experts for weed control' recommenda tions. Bill Reynolds and Terry S tra d le y fro m W arm Springs Range and Ag pro- v id e d a lis t o f in v asiv e weeds. A nd they helped with hosting the workshop held in the spring. O ver $1,300 w o rth o f signage was developed, fea turing pictures and descrip tions o f noxious weeds that have in v ad ed th e W arm Springs reservation. These signs, and other o u tre a c h m aterial, w ere made possible by a grant from the ÜSDA Plant Pro tection Quarantine program. T here was no cost to the tribes. These signs have been p o ste d th ro u g h o u t th e Warm Springs reservation in p u b lic areas to in crease knowledge and identification o f these costly and noxious weeds. They also held a clinic clinic with classroom instruc tion, and hands-on sprayer calibration training. Workshop topics included invasive weed identification, tim ing for effective weed control; understanding a pes ticide label for proper and safe application; personal' protective equipm ent with tips for protecting the appli cator and environment; and a hands-on sprayer calibra tion training. It is our hope that this project will increase aware ness and help reduce the spread o f noxious and inva sive weeds an the reserva tion.
