The primary purpose of this Early Detection, Rapid Response (EDRR) Noxious Weed Alert page is to enable citizens to learn of and/or report new infestations of noxious or invading weeds.

The state of Utah recently updated it's noxious weed list and currently lists a total of 54 weeds. Stay up to date with Utah's noxious weeds.

CWMA

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.

OUR FOCUS AND GOALS

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.

COMMUNICATION

We are committed to being tranparent and having open communication with the general public.

COST SAVINGS

Embracing new technologies and techniques, we focus on trying to save Utah's tax dollars.

PREVENTION

Working with land managers and owners, we strive to prevent the spread of noxious weeds in Utah.

INNOVATION
