We have fabulous news: SCR CWMA has received two grants totaling nearly $16,000.
The USFS award is $6,500. This grant, administered through the Nevada Department of Agriculture, will be used primarily to assist the Spring Creek Association's efforts to control noxious weeds in public use areas. Additional monies will be used to purchase herbicide and weed free seed which will be distributed to volunteer weed warriors.
APHIS has awarded us $9,400. We are contributing to the cost of educational kiosks to be located at South Fork State Recreation Area and in the Spring Creek Homeowners' Association. We plan to reprint the publication Fighting Invasive Weeds A Northeastern Nevada Landowner's Guide to Healthy Landscape. Other monies will be used for educational activities.
Are you interested in finding out more? Our 2010 Work Plan is ambitious, we invite you to join us.
