Resource Abstract:
- description: Funding from this grant will allow for the purchase of biocontrol agents and chemicals to facilitate the rapid
response phase of the project and to provide match for a Washington Service Corps AmeriCorps members. With proceeds from this
grant , two additional Trimble GEOXM GPS units were purchased as were two copies of ArcPad in order to expand the refuge s
Early Detection Rapid Response Program (EDRPP). Weed surveys were conducted by AmeriCorp and SCA volunteers in the North Camas
Canyon, Howellia_A, and Stubblefield Units in August. As part of the EDRPP refuge volunteers continue a systematic survey
of the refuge using a 50 meter point grid. Volunteers navigate to each point and collect information on the presence and abundance
of 25 weed species within a 0.10 acre plot. Additional points and area features are mapped when any of ten, class A weed species
are encounteredbetween points. Approximately 1200 points were sampled on the 50 meter point grid representing around 685 acres.
The survey work resulted in the location of yellow starthistle in the Stubblefield Unit which is the first time it has been
seen on the refuge. The entire infested area was mapped and it was sprayed this fall with a preemergent herbicide. A portion
of this grant was used to purchase additional chemicals for treating new infestations located and past areas mapped to maintain
control. Nearly 200acres of the refuge were treated this year with herbicides, mowing and hand pulling to control invasive
species.; abstract: Funding from this grant will allow for the purchase of biocontrol agents and chemicals to facilitate the
