Virgin River Tamarisk Removal Work Group
The CDSN teamed with landowners, non-profit organizations, and government agencies to form the Virgin River Tamarisk Removal Work Group. The Group addresses tamarisk control along the Virgin River, which includes areas in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. The Group planned to implement tamarisk removal demonstration projects on private land and develop a tamarisk management plan for the Virgin River. The Group implemented a pilot project at a burn site on the Muddy River, which included conducting a soils study and re-vegetation efforts in 1996.
