Purpose and Background

Noxious, invasive weeds threaten the ecological and economic health of Arizona. There is a need for increased research, education and control of noxious weeds in the state. The purpose of the UA Cooperative Extension Statewide Noxious & Invasive Weed Working Group is to improve communication among entities, such as Weed Management Areas, for sharing of pertinent information, research findings and educational strategies.
