The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management awarded a $295,397.14 Cooperative Agreement to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) on October 1, 2023 under the Invasive and Noxious Plant Management program (CFDA 15.230). This grant will fund a 5-year project to remove invasive primrose plants and restore the Laguna Creek area in California. The project aims to prevent, detect, control and monitor invasive plant populations on public lands to support the restoration of native plant communities. Typical activities may include conducting weed inventories, implementing integrated pest management techniques, and long-term monitoring to evaluate treatment efficacy. The Bureau of Land Management's Invasive and Noxious Plant Management program provides grants to state and local governments, tribes, universities, and nonprofit organizations to address invasive species challenges across the western U.S.
