Abstract
The McKenzie River Ranger District (MRRD) on the Willamette National Forest (WNF)
proposes to treat competing vegetation occupying research plots on approximately 5416 m2 with
glyphosate. This treatment may occur at a yearly frequency for the next 10 years. The purpose
of the project is to effectively remove vegetation interfering with the objectives of the research
proposals. This action is tiered to the Willamette National Forest Invasive Plant EA (2007) and
to direction provided in the Pacific Northwest Region Invasive Plant Program, Preventing and
Managing Invasive Plants Record of Decision (USDA Forest Service 2005a).
The proposed action includes manual and/or herbicide treatment methods.
