The primary objective of the CDA Noxious Weed Management Fund (WMF) grant program is to provide additional financial resources to counties, communities, weed control districts, and other entities that are engaged in cooperative efforts to eradicate and/or contain state, regionally, or locally rare noxious weed species populations, and to prevent the spread of high priority weed populations. Additional objectives include the development of measureable outcomes across Colorado that can give a clearer picture of noxious weed management to decision-makers and the general public; and to engage and help build new or recently established weed management programs, especially in regions of the state where these programs could benefit from additional resources and expertise.
