| Impact Report | 2010-2011 Brush and Weed Control Program The Northern New Mexico Cooperative Weed Management Area (NNMCWMA) program continues to be successful. A working format has been established. This year the organization has struggled with the hiring of a qualified coordinator. Since the position is seasonal and part-time it is most difficult to find the right person for the job. This year the organization tried to hire a weed coordinator for the East Rio Arriba Soil and Water Conservation District area and another one for the Upper Chama Soil and Water Conservation District area in order to lessen the amount of travel in the county. Pervious coordinators had suggested that this was area for improvement. Yet again this fall the organization continues to struggle since the current coordinator has found another job. The budget currently is at $47,000.00 with contributors’ being New Mexico State Forestry, both Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Upper Chama and East Rio Arriba, Northern Rio Grande RC&D Council and Bureau of Land Management. The county has opted not to contribute due to budgetary cuts this year. However, treatment of some kind has been on accomplished on 300 plus acres of New Mexico’s’ invasive and noxious plants. |
