(Weed Warrior is an educational project targeting 5th graders in Hill
and Blaine Counties. It was funded by the Noxious Weed Trust Fund
and sponsored by the Hill County Weed District.)
The Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund grant program
was established by the 1985 Montana Legislature
to provide funding for the development and implementation
of weed management programs; provide for research
and development of innovative weed management techniques,
including biological control; and to support educational
and other research projects that benefit Montana
citizens. The grant program is designed to assist
counties, local communities, researchers, and educators
in their efforts to solve a variety of weed problems
in Montana.
The program provides cost-share funding for local cooperative weed management areas and education and research projects, including non-chemical research and demonstration programs. Funding is generally through a government entity (local weed district, conservation district, extension office, or university). Assistance in writing a grant proposal is provided through your local government entity. The Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund Advisory Council reviews applications, hears applicant testimony, and recommends funding to the Director of the Montana Department of Agriculture. Final funding is approved by the Director.
