This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Rangeland Resource Management program (CFDA 15.237) provides $112,500.00 to the Sierra Soil & Water Conservation District (SSWCD) to conduct invasive weed control efforts in New Mexico. The objective is to coordinate with multiple jurisdictions and stakeholders to aerially treat 2,773 acres of creosote-infested rangeland on the W Spear Bar Ranch in Engle, New Mexico using the herbicide Spike 20P. SSWCD will hire a contractor to carry out the aerial herbicide application and assist the BLM Las Cruces District with procurement, contracting, and monitoring during the project activities. The primary public benefit is the reduction of economic and environmental impacts of invasive weeds, advancement of habitat restoration, land resilience, and watershed enhancement on both public and private lands in the region. The award period runs from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026.
