What is a Cooperative Weed Management Area and is the county involved in one?
A Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) is cooperation among land managers and owners within a given area, such as a watershed. These areas replace jurisdictional boundaries in favor of natural boundaries that facilitate cooperation, coordination, and implementation of effective integrated weed management programs for listed noxious weeds. Salt Lake County is involved in the newly formed Bonneville CWMA. Members of the BCWMA include the Forest Service, BLM, UDOT, Salt Lake Soil Conservation, Kennecott Copper, and many more. More information on the Bonneville CWMA is forthcoming.
