Purpose of the JHWMA

The purpose of the Jackson Hole Weed Management Plan is to establish common long and short-term management policies, goals, and objectives necessary for cooperatively managing and funding noxious weed activities across all jurisdictional boundaries in the JHWMA. Cooperators include federal, state, county, and private land management agencies as well as other interested organizations and individuals.  This mutual aid approach to weed management will insure that the maximum efficiency and effectiveness for prevention and control is realized.
