Inventory:

Ever wonder how a dominate noxious weed in one state suddenly starts appearing 1000 miles away in another state, when it's never been there before? Right of way is the main source of travel for noxious weeds, off road vehicles may drive through a patch of noxious weeds with muddy tires. With seeds sticking to the mud transferring is easily done. What’s worse is when the new noxious weed becomes established without being inventoried for future treatment. The spread of the weeds once established is inevitable, if untreated after several years the issue goes from possible eradication, to only being able to maintain the size of the infestation. Inventory is an extremely proactive approach to noxious weeds. With years of experience dealing with a plethora of noxious and invasive weeds (over 100 different types), we know what we are looking for. Inventory preformed doesn't stop 50 feet off the road. BP Weeds walks drainages, gulches, canyons, creeks, ephemeral runoffs, springs, trails, and other likely areas for noxious and invasive weeds to grow. BP Weeds has inventoried over 1,000,000 acres. Finding new invasive species, or finding small patches just starting is our biggest concern. It's highly possible to eradicate a new noxious weed, or a small patch, if treated before it becomes well established. Accurate information collected with extremely accurate GPS devices, helps ours, or other technicians make an accurate plan of attack with information such as weed type, infestation size, stage of growth, distance from water, vehicle access, and even pictures to give a visual representation. BP Weeds uses Several different types of data collecting software depending on customer request. We are experience with Arcpad, Terrasync, and NISIMS protocol, we are familiar with several different forms of collecting information, and have the various different types of equipment to work with virtually any type of software, or metrics that may need to be met. Our data base of noxious and invasive weeds spans over 5 states and growing.

Monitoring:

Monitoring plays an important part in the environment. Recording accurate information pertaining to competing vegetative growth in specified areas provides important information for wildlife, vegetation, and biological data. Finding disruptions, or negatively impacting factors is equally important in any long-term plan to improve areas. BP Weeds monitors over 50 sites yearly to give accurate information to the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Understanding the purpose behind monitoring ensures following proper protocol. Obtaining accurate measurements when preforming this task is of the up m most importance. Accuracy and precision goes hand in hand with providing excellent data. We’ve been monitoring for several years, we understand the why’s and the how’s.

Seeding:

Our previous experience with seeding has been through field work (alfalfa, and desired palatable grasses) and on mining sites required to revegetate, on an exit plan. We have several different ways to seed, or reseed areas. Some require a water truck with hydraulic sprayers to spread seeds with nitrogen fertilizers and or other growth enhancers. IF the seeds need to be buried we have a tractor and seeder for those types of projects as well. No job is too unique for us to take on.

Mapping:

ArcGIS topographical maps are created on every treatment project we do. Having accurately mapped and label maps helps future projects for our customers by giving a visual representation of the work we did. By looking at a well-made map, the possibility of seeing areas of focus, or sections with future problems through patterns becomes possible. We’ve been making maps for so long we decided to share our gifted abilities, and offer our well-made maps as a service by themselves. Maps of all sizes can be made, and printed upon the customer’s request.
