WlMii mm** NARATIVE Malheur National Wildlife Refuge - 2007 What a year it has been! 2007 turned out to be a great challenge for Ecosystems Management, Inc. 5301 acres were treated on the Malheur at a total budget of $216,735. 3260 acres were treated with Permittee money with a total of $138,623 and 2041 acres were treated with other contracts amounting to $78,112.00. We spent a total of 64 days applying herbicides on the Malheur. The average cost per acre was $41. Treatment began on June 20, 2007 and ended on November 4, 2007. Perennial Pepperweed, Canadian thistle, Scotch thistle, Poison Hemlock, Russian Knapweed, and Medusahead were the target weeds. What can I say? Elota and I still hold the great privilege to continue herbicide treatments on this pristine Refuge. We want to thank all the Staff at the Malheur, once again, for the ability to be part of their team. The following report will outline all that we have accomplished in 2007. There have been suggestions added as words for thought as we enter into a new decade of weed control on the Malheur. By no means are we trying to run the show. We believe the communication between the Refuge Management and Ecosystems Management, Inc. is unsurpassed between management and contractors. We are only here to serve. Jess Winick is still on track, outlining the spray program as he set forth in 2005. We are honored to use the Double O approach as we treat the Malheur. Elota and I look forward, once again, in 2008 to be part of the weed program on the Malheur. We have been told that the acreage will be smaller for treatment in 2008, but as long as the Refuge continues their control efforts on noxious weeds, we are happy to participate Again, thank you for letting us serve you.
