The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $380,000 Project Grant under the Forest Health Protection (CFDA 10.680) program to Sheridan County Weed & Pest Control in Wyoming. The grant funds will be used to develop and implement improved noxious weed control methods to mitigate the impacts of invasive plants on native landscapes and habitats in northern Wyoming. Specifically, Sheridan County Weed & Pest Control will apply herbicides, monitor invasive species populations, and conduct restoration activities on thousands of acres of sensitive sagebrush ecosystems and wildlife habitats. This federal grant award builds on the county's ongoing efforts to protect native plant communities through coordinated weed and pest control activities supported by additional USDA Forest Service, U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management grants.
