Saik'uz
The Saik'uz field scabious mapping and control project was performed by the Saik'uz First Nation and was initially administered by the Ministry of Forests and Range (MOFR) in 2004. In 2004, two students were hired to perform invasive plant inventory and control field scabious on the Saik'uz reserve lands. In the 2005 field season, two students were employed for four weeks to perform invasive plant inventory and control in the Saik'uz First Nation reserve lands and on Ministry of Transportation (MOT) rights-of-way. In 2006, the Saik'uz First Nation continued active participation in the NWIPC by completing mechanical treatments of field scabious and developing awareness of the impact of this species in the community. In 2007, the Saik'uz and NWIPC continued to work together to inventory and manually treat field scabious infestations and rehabilitate severely infested sites.
