Snowbasin Resort Fights Back! Recognizing that invasive species rate with global warming as the major threats to wild land ecosystems, Snowbasin Resort is committed to managing invasive species introduced from adjacent private, county and federal lands. Snowbasin Resort has developed a resort Weed Management Plan to approach the problem. The plan utilizes several techniques in an integrated manner. Prevention of further introductions through public awareness, washing vehicles (including mountain bikes) and managing horses and hay. Detection and rapid response is accomplished by training the public and resort employees in weed identification and to initiate a rapid and appropriate response. Control treatments include mechanical, cultural, chemical and/or biological. Where large areas are treated restoration will be implemented by revegetation of affected sites with our Forest Service approved wild land seed mix. An ongoing monitoring program is vital to success to determine efficacy of treatments and potential future introductions of present or new species. We are cooperating with the Weber River Cooperative Weed Management Area to ensure or program is integrated with other private, federal, state, county and local efforts. Join us and help fight back against noxious weeds. For further information please call (801) 620-1000, email info@snowbasin.com or visit our Natural Resource Management page |
