Sites include Badlands National Park, Fort Union Trading Post, Knife River Indian Villages, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Scotts Bluff National Monument, and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. This multi-year effort involves three phases: targeted weed management, native seed collection and propagation to enhance availability, and ultimately, restoration of treated areas with native species.
