Noxious Weed Abatement

This program serves the whole community through the conservation of native plants in our area and plants that have a cultural significance to the Bishop Paiute Tribe. We also work on the reduction of invasive, noxious weeds.  The reservation has several acres of these weeds that, left unchecked, could run the risk of spreading throughout the reservation to create monocultures of weeds replacing existing native plants.  Our department uses the principles of Integrated Weed Management (IWM), which include chemical, mechanical, biological and cultural management methods, to control and reduce the populations of several species of these weeds on the reservation.
