NOXIOUS WEEDS DISPLACE NATIVE SPECIES, DESTROY NATURAL HABITAT, CLOG WATERWAYS, AND INCREASE EROSION AND FIRE RISK. RESTORATION OF NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES AS A RESULT OF NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL WOULD MAINTAIN AND OR ENHANCE AQUATIC AND WILDLIFE HABITATS IN THE LONG-TERM. ADDITIONALLY, MAINTENANCE OR INCREASE IN NATIVE GRASS AND FORB COVER ON TREATMENT AREAS AND ADJACENT AREAS POTENTIALLY INVADED BY UNCONTROLLED WEEDS. IF LEFT UNTREATED, IT WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT A NUMBER OF AQUATIC AND WILDLIFE SPECIES THROUGH CONTINUED LOSS OF HABITAT DIVERSITY ON TREATMENT AREAS AND ADJACENT AREAS AS WEEDS CONTINUE TO SPREAD. CONTROLLING NOXIOUS WEEDS WITHIN THE WILD AND SCENIC RIVER CORRIDORS DIRECTLY IMPROVES THE REMARKABLE VALUES FOR WHICH THE DESIGNATIONS WERE AWARDED, AND WILL HELP TO RESTORE OR IMPROVE FOREST, RANGELAND AND WATERSHED HEALTH.
