Drone being used to spray invasive species on Republican River

The Upper and Middle Republican Natural Resources Districts and Southwest Weed Management (SWWM) have partnered together to tackle invasive weed species throughout the URNRD and along the Republican River Basin.
    One of the targeted noxious weed species is the non-native phragmites that can consume large amounts of water along riverbeds.
    To better reach hard-to-access areas where the noxious weed is growing, SWWM is using drones to do the spraying.
    They have received grant funding from the Nebraska Environmental Trust and the Nebraska Department of Agriculture to cover the cost of spraying along the river.
