Require the Use of Certified Noxious Weed-Free Forage on National Forest System Lands in Colorado and Wyoming, Regions 2 and 4, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Southern Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming

概要

The Regional Foresters of the Rocky Mountain and Intermountain Regions of the Forest Service are proposing a requirement that all National Forest visitors in Colorado and Wyoming use certified noxious weed-free hay, straw or mulch when visiting National Forest System lands in those two states. This requirement will affect visitors who routinely use hay or straw on the National Forests such as: recreationists using pack and saddle stock, ranchers with grazing permits, outfitters, and contractors who use straw or other mulch for reseeding purposes. These individuals or groups would be required to purchase certified noxious weed-free forage products or use other approved products such as processed grains and pellets before entering and while on National Forest System lands in the aforementioned states.
