Global Invasive Species Team listserve digest #032 Tue, 25 May 1999 12:07:43 -0700 (PDT) --CONTENTS-- 1. New Species Management Summary: Convolvulus arvensis--field bindweed 2. Weed control grants --------------------------------------- 1. New Species Management Summary: Convolvulus arvensis--field bindweed From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu) We have a new field bindweed Element Stewardship Abstract at the Weeds on the Web site. (http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu) This Species Management Summary updates an older version. Species Management Summaries of other new species will be available soon, too. --------------------------------------- 2. Weed control grants From: John Randall (jarandall(at)ucdavis.edu) The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) will once again fund weed control projects under its Pulling Together Initiative. The deadline for submitting proposals is November 2 1999. You may obtain a copy of the RFP for these grants from NFWF's website: http://www.nfwf.org. The grants typically range from $2,500 to about $50,000 with the large majority being for $15,000-$25,000. Proposals that involve work by several partners in a Weed Management Area are most likely to be supported. This is especially true if one of the partners is a unit of the US Forest Service, BLM or Department of Defense since these agencies provide the bulk of the funding for the grant program. The grant committee likes to balance the awards geographically. For the last 3 years relatively few proposals were submitted from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions so these had a better than average chance of being supported. TNC has had a representative on the Pulling Together grant award committee for the last three years (Tina Hall '97, John Randall '98, Donnelle Keech '99) and will likely be represented again in '00. Please feel free to contact John for advice or comments on your proposal. |
