Treatments are expected to continue through October.
âThe majority of herbicide treatments will be spot application to individual invasive plants using truck sprayers, backpack sprayers and UTVs,â said Paula Brooks, a botanist with the Umatilla National Forest.
Some broadcast application is also planned along a small subset of roadsides.
The work will be implemented under the 2010 decision for the Invasive Species Treatment Project and the Forest Plan amended by the Pacific Northwest Region 2005 decision for Preventing and Managing Invasive Plants. Herbicides to be used include aminopyralid, chlorsulfuron, clopyralid, imazapic, metsulfuron methyl, and picloram.
âManual and mechanical treatments are planned for a number of small infestations, some of which have been treated for over a decade and are subsequently much reduced in size,â Brooks said.
Reflections from the COVID frontline: A nurse shares her experience through a difficult year
Frontline nurse reflects on a year into the COVID-19 pandemic By David Whisenant | March 9, 2021 at 5:01 PM EST - Updated March 9 at 5:53 PM
ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) - To say itâs been a year of challenges both at home and on the job would be quite an understatement, especially for those frontline healthcare workers. And they warn not to celebrate the end of the pandemic just yet as they are still dealing with it every day.
âEver since I was a little kid, Iâve always wanted to be a nurse and Iâve been a nurse now for over 20 years,â said Paula Brooks, a Registered Nurse working in the Cardiac Telemetry Unit at Novant Health Rowan Medical Center in Salisbury.
When Black folks started fleeing the Jim Crow South at the start of the Great Migration, Indianapolis was one of the first places where they ended up. It was barely outside the South. When they got to Indianapolis, Black folks started some of the first urban farms, formed housing cooperatives and started grocery stores. They were so industrious and successful, when Madam C.J. Walker needed a place to scale up production of her famous hair products for Black women, she came to Indianapolis right here to Indiana Avenue, where she moved her company headquarters in 1910.
For many decades, this stretch of Indiana Avenue was the one place in Indianapolis where Black folks could do business out loud. Jazz clubs and other Black-owned businesses ran all up and down the avenue, fueled in large part by the jobs from Walker’s company and others.
