Washakie county weed and pest control district (wcwp) intends to use the award funds to inventory and document locations of noxious weeds and other invasive species, and to take measures to treat, control and potentially eradicate those species. Wcwp works to ensure the most effective herbicides are used for each specific noxious invasive species targeted through this award. Monitoring and evaluation of treatments is an important part of the work that wcwp strives to accomplish. Wcwp plans to hire seasonal workers as well as local subcontractors to assist in the treatment of noxious invasive species found in the project areas. All projects that wcwp undertakes are efforts to support land conservation and biodiversity by reducing the footprint of noxious invasive species on public lands, while protecting the desirable native vegetation and insects that build up the ecosystem. These efforts allow the public to enjoy recreation activities on public lands without the annoyance of noxious and invasive plants and insects
