BHNF to Host Open House Meetings On Invasive and Other Select Plant Management Project

Officials with the Bighorn National Forest will be hosting two open house meetings for an upcoming project to address noxious, invasive and select native plant species on national forest lands. The project is known as the Invasive and Other Select Plant Management Project and a Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement is expected this spring.

The project includes treatment of noxious, invasive, and select native plant species through the integration of manual, mechanical, biological, ground herbicide, and aerial herbicide control methods on the Bighorn National Forest. The first open house will be March 17 at the Big Horn County Weed and Pest Building in Greybull from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The second open house meeting will be in Sheridan, on March 19 at the Forest Service Supervisor’s Office from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Forest Service officials will be available at both meetings to provide information and answer questions regarding the project.
