Project Revegetation Demonstration of noxious weed infested rangeland in Missoula County. Location: Lolo The overall goals of this demonstration are to learn more about the risks and benefits associated with herbicides, seeding grasses, and grazing to provide an education demonstration site for tours of noxious weed management. The project includes a fenced site of 0.75 acres, an unfenced site of 0.75 acres and 3 miles of roadside. The purpose of the fenced and unfenced sites is to revegetate and restore leafy spurge infested pasture with and without grazing by cattle and wildlife.
