Project Background
The purpose of this project is to improve invasive weed management and
control methods on grazing lands. We aim to attain this purpose by reducing the likelihood of
invasion and improving the detection, reporting, and eradication of new weeds in weed
prevention areas with seasonal range riders, or ",weed scouts.", Weed prevention areas (WP As)
are weed-free rangelands prioritized for protection from invasive weed spread. Preventative
efforts to manage invasive weeds are successful and cost effective. We aim to improve weed
management on grazing lands by ultimately setting standards and guidelines that prioritize weed management in weed-free rangelands.
