[IMCWMA Partners] Weed funding for 2010

[Tara Athan]

I would like to call a General Inland Mendocino Coast Weed Management 
Area meeting sometime during the period of March 12- March 27 to discuss 
the next round of CDFA funding, and discussion on the possibility of 
including the Lower Russian River watershed in our WMA. Please let me 
know your availability in this period. Once I have a date when most 
partners can attend, I will announce this to the full mailing list.


The deadline for CDFA proposals is April 7, much earlier than last year. 
There are again two pots of funds
Base Funding: each county is eligible for $16,758 (same as last year) 
and all that is required is submission of a qualified work plan
Supplemental Funding: competitive state-wide, each county can submit 
proposals for up to $50,000 of projects. 50-50 Cost share is required. 
Projects span two calendar years (jan 2010 - dec 2011). We were very 
successful at getting supplemental funding in the past, but this will 
expire at the end of 2009, so we need to apply for follow-up funding for 
at least these projects - distaff, gorse and knotweed.

PS. If you don't want to receive IMCWMA Partners emails and need help 
unsubscribing or changing to the Announcement list, please contact me-
