Extension project tackles invasive species
Early detection, and rapid
response are critical in con
trolling the spread o f inva
sive species that threaten
tribal lands.
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.

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.

These signs, and other

made possible by a grant

T here was no cost to the

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

They also held a clinic
clinic with classroom instruc

Workshop topics included
invasive weed identification,

safe application; personal'
