Snake Valley Cooperative Weed Management Area Salt Cedar Cut Stump Project
In 2006 the Snake Valley CWMA continued their efforts to reclaim the area around the Silver Creek Reservoir. This year a foliar application method was used to treat the areas that were not treated last year do to the large amounts of water that prevented treatment. These efforts also included a reseeding of the initial project site with grass. The CWMA also targeted a second Salt Cedar infestation that was mapped in 2005. The new treatment area is larger than the infestation located in Silver Creek but do to the marsh type conditions a foliar treatment seemed to be the best if not the only option. Approximately 325 acres were treated within this new infestation through the combined efforts of the Baker Ranches and Tri-County Weed Control.
