The Bighorn National Forest has changed plans on treating invasive species after objections raised
The objections were primarily concerned with what the impacts would be on native plant species in an effort to treat invasive ones. Others expressed concern about applying herbicide aerially. In response, the forest has amended their plans to remove two native plant species initially slated for treatment from the project's final decision. Once approved, the new plan will be in effect by the summer of 2023 when treatments will get underway throughout the forest.
