Resource Abstract:
- description: In FY2012 Camas National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) obtained a grant through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
to map and treat invasive weeds not only Refuge lands, but adjacent lands as well. In 2010 Pheasants Forever Inc., acting
as a conservation buyer purchased a 2,700 tract of land owned by the Joe Marty family. This acquisition allows Camas NWR (10,500
acres) to now be connected with Mud Lake State Wildlife Management Area (8,853 acres). This connection allows the State of
Idaho and FWS the opportunity to manage a larger tract of wildlife habitat in coordination. Much of the Pheasants Forever
Inc. tract had been abused by over grazing of cattle and horses. This has led to a serious invasion of Russian knapweed which
has gained a strong hold on the landscape. Canada thistle, musk thistle, white top, black henbane and leafy spurge are also
present on all three tracts. Funds from this grant helped implement three measures (mapping, biological controls and chemical)
to control the invasive plants on all three properties. Three main cooperating agencies have spent time and resources treating
invasive species on this newly acquired land. These agencies or groups are: Idaho Fish and Game Department, USFWS, and the
Continental Divide Weed Management Area group and its partners (for a complete list of partners see the partnership section
of this document).; abstract: In FY2012 Camas National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) obtained a grant through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
