The Salmon River Noxious Weed Control Project
The WWA participates each spring in weed control efforts within the Frank
Church-River of No Return Wilderness as part of a cooperative effort with the U.S. Forest Service,
the Idaho Department of Agriculture, and private property owners. The WWA provides logistical
support, technical assistance, and manual labor in an active assault on noxious weeds along the
Salmon River corridor. WWA members operating their private jetboats provide manpower and
transport for the project.
This project requires a significant amount of physical labor for participants,
as the weed control methods primarily entail hand application of chemical sprays and hand
pulling. Much of the work takes place on steep terrain and participating members
are generally in the field for 3 to 4 days.
