In November 1998, stakeholders representing a broad base of interests gathered to discuss the issues and impact of leafy spurge in the Province of Manitoba. From this meeting, a Committee representing a diverse base of public, private and nonprofit agencies was established to describe the problem of leafy spurge in Manitoba and to identify a number of strategies to combat infestations. Rural Development Institute of Brandon University provides coordination and project management services for the LSSG.

The LSSG has received financial support from Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives' Covering New Ground program, the Habitat Stewardship Program of Environment Canada, 
the Sustainable Development Innovations Fund, the Brandon Area Community Foundation 
and a number of Manitoba municipalities.
