  Education
 
A key goal of the WSWS is to educate the public regarding weeds in rangeland, cropping systems, right-of-ways, or other areas where weeds have or may interfere with desired species.  The Society strives to provide the public with current information about all types of weeds and continues to add to the knowledge base about all types of species.

A few of the major publications produced through the WSWS can be viewed using the navigation bar at the left.
