​The Biological Control, Show Me Floats and Grants pages have been updated to reflect our leafy spurge biological control collection and release activities in early July. ​Look for further updates to other sections of the YRLSP website, reflecting additional 2024 field activities and data collection, over the coming weeks.

The YRLSP will be a principal partner in a new Green and Yampa River Inundative Biological Control Strategy Project (IBCS), funded through a large grant received by Dinosaur National Monument. Check our Grants page for updates on the ongoing planning and implementation of this multi-year (2024-2030) project, which will fund biological control activities conducted by partners on federal, state, municipal, and interested privately held properties throughout the Yampa and Green river basins.
