Grant Description: The Milk River serves as a corridor for noxious and invasive weeds to travel and spread upstream and downstream. Invasive and noxious weeds pose a significant problem for the Milk River and its tributaries. Treating 200 feet on each side of the river shoreline, from Fresno Dam to the Confluence of the Missouri river for noxious and invasive weeds would help restore the river to almost pristine levels.
