Cooperative Weed Management Areas, commonly referred to as CWMA's, are one of the newest and most effective ways to battle noxious and invading weeds in the United States.
Invasive noxious weeds have been described as a raging biological wildfire – out of control, spreading rapidly, and causing enormous economic losses.
The Utah Weed Supervisors Association, or UWSA, is the organization of Utah’s 29 county weed supervisors as defined in Utah Noxious Weed Act. The UWSA assists county weed boards, cooperative weed management areas, local governments, tribes, and landowners in halting the spread of listed species through partnerships and regulatory actions. The UWSA provides technical expertise and general assistance on noxious weed information and treatment techniques. The UWSA goals are to protect Utah’s natural resources, agriculture, and economy by preventing the introduction of new invasive species and to eradicate, contain, or manage existing invasive species in Utah.
