Our Mission

Uniting Our Community against invasive weeds with Management & education.

The Jordan Valley Cooperative Weed Management Area brings together those individuals responsible for weed management within the CWMA, to develop common management objectives, set realistic management priorities, facilitated effective treatment methods, and coordinate efforts along logical geographic boundaries with similar land types, use patterns, and problem species.

The CWMA also provides educational opportunities to the general public, teachers and students, and local landowners raising their awareness of the problems associated with noxious and invasive weeds.
