The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this grant to control the proliferation of noxious weed populations across federally and non-federally managed lands within the Medford and Roseburg Districts of Oregon, specifically in Josephine and Douglas Counties. This grant is for the critical purpose of combating invasive species like Himalayan blackberry, yellow star thistle, and various thistles, which pose a significant threat to local ecosystems. Early intervention is emphasized as essential for effective and cost-efficient control, building upon previous efforts by federal, state, and local agencies. In addition to employing various treatment methods, a key component of this initiative involves public education and outreach to raise awareness about menace weed species, promote effective control techniques, and guide post-removal site restoration.

| Description: | The purpose of this project is to control the spread on noxious weed populations within the portions of Medford and Roseburg District BLM which fall within the northernmost portions of Josephine and all of Douglas County, Oregon – both on federally and non-federally managed lands. There are numerous noxious weeds that may occur within these boundaries. Himalayan blackberry, brooms, knapweeds, knotweeds, yellow star thistle, gorse, Canada and bull thistle, puncturevine, Scotch thistle, toadflax, Paterson’s Curse, whitetop, wooly distaff thistle, and English hawthorn are spreading throughout the West by many methods (vehicles, animals, wind, quarry materials (fill dirt, gravel) etc). In some areas, the establishment of these species is still small and isolated. It is at this critical time that control is most likely to succeed, while keeping costs to a minimum. Federal, State and local agencies have been working for several years to control these weeds. Continuation of this effort is extremely important in order to not lose ground that has been gained. Several methods of control may be utilized. In addition, public education and outreach efforts will be carried out with the goal of increasing awareness of menace weed species, effective methods of control, and site restoration after weeds have been removed. |
