SANPITCH CWMA MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Sanpitch CWMA is to identify, control, and monitor noxious weeds within the Sanpitch region by bringing people and resources together for the purpose of treating Utah’s noxious weeds. We believe that- together– we can make Utah greater.
What is a CWMA
Facilitating collaborative land management
A Cooperative Weed Management Area, known as a CWMA, prioritizes improving noxious weed control within designated areas. CWMA’s utilize a variety of Integrated Weeds Management procedures to control and maintain weeds through cooperative efforts and resources of multiple departments and agencies across jurisdictional boundaries. Often CWMA’s are able to secure substantial government funding because the scope of projects can be increased to include weeds across federal, state, county, municipal, and private properties.
Where We Work
Our primary work is within and adjacent to Sanpete County, Utah, however, we recognize that noxious weeds know no borders. As a cross jurisdictional partnership, we remain open to projects beyond our current project boundaries when new partnerships and project areas will expand our capacity to make meaningful impact on noxious weeds and enhance habitat quality.
Main Focuses and Priorities
This organization strives to be a resource for our local community.
Sanpitch CWMA is a partnership consisting of government organizations, non-profits, private businesses, and private citizens who work to improve cross jurisdictional collaboration, facilitate acquisition of funding to support noxious weed management and ecosystem restoration and implement noxious weed control using the most current science. The organization strives to be a resource for our local community.
