Park County Weed and Pest Control District

Gna Fuels Project - Parks W&P Will Reduce Hazardous Fuels by Treating Noxious/invasive Plant Species Such as Cheatgrass, and Other Related Fuels With Project Areas. Project Will Aid in Restoring Landscape Function and Connectivity, Conserve Lands to Combat Climate Change, and Reduce the Impacts for Areas Impacted by Wildfire. the Focus in These Areas Is to Reduce or Prevent Invasive/noxious Plant Species From Disrupting the Native Species Within the Area. Native Plant Species Provide for a More Resilient Landscape When Impacted by Wildfires. Reducing the Severity and Frequency of Wildland Fire Aids in Ecological Restoration of the Area While Minimizing the Impacts to Local Communities Both Socially and Economically. the Expected Outcomes Are a Reduction in the Presence of Hazardous Fuels Through a Reduction of Invasive Species Over Time. the Intended Beneficiaries Include the General Public for Sustaining or Increasing Recreational Opportunities on Public Land as Well as the Agricultural Community by Reducing the Frequency and Severity of Wildland Fire, Which in Turn Will Allow for Sustained Grazing Practices by Livestock Producer.
