Background
Located in north central Idaho, the Nez Perce Reservation lies between the Selway-Bitterroot Mountain, across the camas and Weippe prairie to the breaks of the Snake River. During the past century many non-native plants have invaded, disturbing native plant communities which are culturally important to Nez Perce people, economically important to the region and biologically important to the Columbia River Basin ecosystem.
Building Partnerships
The NPBC is constantly seeking partnerships to increase its ability to meet the needs of land. A greenhouse and garden plots of target weeds allow NPBC staff to raise approved biological control organisms on site.
Mass rearing of newly available approved biological control organisms will allow land owners and managers increased access to natures weed eaters. owners and managers throughout the region. 
Through partnerships, the NPBC has access to collections of all approved biological control of weeds organisms and continually builds the rearing program to include newly approved organisms.
