Mapping
Maintaining strategic noxious weed control and land restoration plans based on integrated weed management practices and other relevant science.
So happy you found us
We are Sanpitch CWMA
A partnership of government organizations, non-profits, private businesses and private citizens working across jurisdictional boundaries to control noxious weeds.
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. CWMAs use a variety of integrated weed management procedures to control and maintain weeds through the cooperative efforts and resources of multiple departments and agencies across jurisdictional boundaries.
Often CWMAs 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
Noxious weeds know no borders
Our primary work is within and adjacent to Sanpete County, Utah. 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.
