Danly has also worked cooperatively with The Nature Conservancy on several weed projects in Hells Canyon. She has a passion to combat weeds and has lead the Tri-State Cooperative Weed Management Area for many years organizing volunteer days, hosting barbecues, making presentations at weed seminars and recognizing and rewarding her army of weed control volunteers. Danly is very knowledgeable about plant materials and has worked closely with the University of Idaho and BLM botanists to increase their knowledge of appropriate plant materials for the Hells Canyon area rehabilitation efforts.
