Aren't the 2 million acres of kudzu infested lands across the south east adequate evidence of kudzu's invasive potential. Exotic invasive plants are probably the second greatest threat to our remaining natural ecosystems after habitat destruction resulting from direct human activities. Kudzu is biological pollution of the worst sort. If you need any further evidence of the destructive potential of exotic invaders, I suggest a vist to south Florida, where invasive plants now cover some 12% of the land mass with severe ecological impact to some of the most unique ecosystems in the continenetal US.

The money tourists spend in a community is the benefit which people probably recognize most readily. Other benefits might include improved recreation facilities, expanded cultural and social opportunities, and pride in one's community, but additional dollars provide the usual appeal for tourism development. These dollars benefit sectors throughout the community, including those not directly connected to tourism, such as the construction industry. Communities contemplating development to encourage tourism can estimate the amount of money visitors will spend in their area. These estimates are useful in several ways. To indicate the value of tourism to a larger region.

Comments or questions? Please email the system administrator Fall 2004 PNWWATER 047 UI Paradise Creek Project to Assess Conservation Measures US Department of Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced that the University of Idaho was awarded a $640,000 three-year grant to study the effectiveness of conservation practices to protect water quality in the Paradise Creek Watershed. Paradise Creek is in Latah County and runs through Moscow and the University of Idaho campus. This was one of only four projects funded nationally through the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP). The other three projects funded by this competitive program are in Iowa, Ohio, and Utah. “These four funded projects will expand the scope of USDA’s efforts to understand how conservation practices affect water quality in agricultural watersheds,” Veneman said. This project was written and is led by environmental water quality engineer Jan Boll. Boll has focused his research efforts on Paradise Creek since joining the University of Idaho faculty in 1996. Other investigators on the grant are J. D. Wulfhorst and Murat Isik, both assistant professors in Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, and Bob Mahler, professor and water quality coordinator in Soil Science. The Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI), Latah Soil and Water Conservation District, and USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are major partners in this effort.

The grants will benefit species ranging from the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker in the Southeast to the threatened spectacled eider in Alaska. Funded through the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund and authorized by Section 6 of the U.S. Endangered Species Act, the grants will enable States, working in partnership with private landowners, conservation groups and other agencies and organizations to initiate conservation planning efforts, and to acquire and protect habitat to support the conservation of threatened and endangered species. "Today’s grant awards recognize the important work that States and their partners are doing to conserve and recover threatened and endangered species. Grants are an important tool in our efforts to empower local governments and citizens as they seek to develop voluntary conservation partnerships that provide real benefits to listed species," said Interior Secretary Gale Norton.
