Written by Shannon Wehinger on . Posted in Conservation District Project Spotlight, PRISM

Nicole Santangelo Thompson of Penn State Extension provides information on invasives and other problematic weeds in the pasture.

Jefferson County Conservation District and the local Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) pilot program advisory board conducted a pasture walk on a beef operation in September 2024 to spotlight problematic invasive plants on the farm and how to control them. The project cost $1,129.61 in grant funding.

The district’s other PRISM project involved signage and was highlighted in the November 25, 2024, issue of Front Page.

Financial and other support for the PRISM Pilot Program in NW Pennsylvania is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a Landscape Scale Restoration Grant with the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
