Challenges!WATER!

We can’t take it from the river, so how do we sustain

out plantings?

Page 8: Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned...Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned Overview Introduction Successes Challenges Lessons Learned New Approaches Highway 70 To Phoenix

Challenges! Lack of Burning

Burn piles inhibit walking and limit areas for planting

Page 9: Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned...Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned Overview Introduction Successes Challenges Lessons Learned New Approaches Highway 70 To Phoenix

Challenges!

Strong Tamarisk Re-Growth & Secondary Weed Populations

Page 10: Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned...Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned Overview Introduction Successes Challenges Lessons Learned New Approaches Highway 70 To Phoenix

Challenges! Herbivory

Page 11: Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned...Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned Overview Introduction Successes Challenges Lessons Learned New Approaches Highway 70 To Phoenix

Challenges! Resource Limitations

Costs for Seeds, Cages, Maintenance

Page 12: Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned...Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned Overview Introduction Successes Challenges Lessons Learned New Approaches Highway 70 To Phoenix

Challenges! Turnover creating inconsistencies

Permitting…We’re unable to work on parts of some sites

because of boundary lines

Lack of planning for planting

Page 13: Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned...Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned Overview Introduction Successes Challenges Lessons Learned New Approaches Highway 70 To Phoenix

We need to plan for water!

Renting water trucks and creating irrigation systems

Using grey water free from the county and installing

meters near work sites

Creating deeper plant holes

Dry-Seeding

We need to burn!

We’re creating a burn plan that can be used yearly and

to play catch up with the 3-4 years of piles present now

AZFFM & the Fort Grant prison crew are burning 30-acres

of piles this month! (*AS WE SPEAK)

We need a plan for weeds!

We need to hit secondary weeds harder…they need to be a

bigger part of the plan

We need to retreat tamarisk in the summer, while it’s green

Instituting summer weed killing weeks with all the staff 3-4

times and mow down the remains in fall

We need to get creative!

Caging costs mitigated with natural repellents and elk exclosures

Volunteer crews for planting preparation and testing new

methods

We need to plan ahead!

Create permanent monitoring and implementation protocols

Improving site access by creating temporary roads

Collect our own seed for next year!
